Nagahama Castle
Last update
This was the first castle built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who is said to have lived in Nagahama until 1582. It was abandoned in the early Edo period, and the materials were relocated to various places. Currently, the reconstructed castle tower is a historical museum, and the castle ruins have been developed as Hokoen-Park. Almost no remains from Hideyoshi's time remain, and only parts of the stone walls and a well remain.
