[Kokura Castle, Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture] Stroll through the castle while admiring the cherry blossoms

#Spring0yentrip

I went to Kokura Castle in Kokura, Kitakyushu, Fukuoka Prefecture☺️

When I went, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.

There were stalls and it was very lively.

Kokura Castle is the only castle in Fukuoka Prefecture that has a castle tower, a symbol of traditional Japanese castles☺️

It is loved as a symbol of Kitakyushu City along with its unique architectural design, "Kara-zukuri".

Kokura Castle has 5 floors,

1st floor: Theater and experience corner

2nd floor: Area where you can learn about the history of the Hosokawa family, who built the castle in earnest, and the Ogasawara family, who entered the country later

3rd floor: Area where you can learn about the lives of Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro

4th floor: Gallery

5th floor: Bar and observation space

It's fun for both children and adults!

I enjoyed it for about 2 hours☺️
