A must-visit destination in Aizu-Wakamatsu: Tsuruga Castle

Tsuruga Castle is the symbol of Aizu-Wakamatsu. Not only is it a historic landmark, but it is also renowned for its architectural style and cultural significance.
This is Japan's only "red-roofed castle keep." In summer, the castle is surrounded by lush greenery, while in winter, its striking appearance under a blanket of snow makes it stand out from typical black or gray-roofed castles. Tsuruga Castle is characterized by its "high stone walls" and "spacious moats," which effectively defend against invaders and add to its majestic presence.
