Wakayama Castle was built in 1585 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the younger brother of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. In 1619, Tokugawa Raisun, the son of Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was in power at the time, became the castle lord. As the residence of the "Kishu Tokugawa family", one of the three Tokugawa royal families, it has gone through 250 years of history. Due to lightning strikes, the Great Tenshou, Small Tenshou, Duowen, etc. were burned down, but they were immediately rebuilt, and their majesty remained the same for a long time. In 1935, 11 buildings including the castle tower, turret, and Nanmen gate were designated as national treasures, but all 11 buildings were burned down due to the war. After the war, the castle tower was rebuilt in 1958, showing its former majesty. Inside the castle tower, various exhibits related to the Tokugawa family are displayed, and from the observation deck on the upper floor, you can have a panoramic view of Kishikawa and Wakayama city. In addition, there is also a nationally designated scenic spot "Red Leaf Stream Garden", where you can enjoy the elegant scenery. Wakayama Park has been built around, and 1,300 cherry blossoms are in full bloom in spring. Many tourists come here to enjoy the flowers, which is very lively.
This castle is very beautiful, and it is relatively small. There are not many tourists. It rained when it came. The cherry blossoms 🌸 just bloomed. It is very pleasant to stroll here. Your Excellency Tianshou, a cherry tree is so beautiful, and the surrounding environment complements each other.
Wakayama castle is an absolutely stunning example of the classic Japanese architecture which is loved around the world. It’s a beautiful castle and if you go during the weekdays it isn’t very busy. The price to visit the castle is also a steal! Loved it!
The "Wakayama City" in the center of Wakayama, Hyogo "Hiroshima City" and Aiyu "Matsuyama City", which are also called the three vertical flat cities in Japan, are popular sightseeing spots that cannot be missed by Wakayama tourism. Wakayama City is the residence of the Tokugawa family of the Tokugawa Mitsuka, the important stronghold of the Tokugawa Shogun in Western Japan, the famous TV drama "Tangfang General" Tokugawa Yizong before becoming the general.

Wakayama City Department Wakayama should not be missed. The biggest feature of Wakayama City is that it was once a war, resulting in all 11 internal buildings burned down. After the war, Tianshou Pavilion was rebuilt first, so I have been rebuilt from today to today. - Looks like a scorpion! 🥹 Although this is the case, Wakayama City - historical value is not allowed to question - 😊 Tianshou Pavilion has a relationship with Tokugawa's family - various exhibits, Japan - historical and cultural conservation spares no effort, it is worth reference from other countries 👏🏻👏🏻 When I went to Shanghai, plum blossoms were in full bloom, and the background was matched with the magnificent castle. Don't have a scenery 😉
