🛡️【Historical landmark at the northern end of Kyushu🏯】Walk into Kokura Castle and get a glimpse of the samurai spirit in the city🔥

Kokura Castle, the representative landmark of Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, is the only castle in Kyushu that is included in Japan's "Top Ten Castle Height Rankings". It is 28.7 meters high and ranks sixth📊. The white walls and black tiles are matched with solid stone walls, like a guardian that travels through time and space, quietly witnessing the fusion of Kokura's history and modernity🌆.

Entering the castle tower, you will find that it is a little more "interesting and interactive" than the general traditional castle💡! In addition to exhibiting the history of Kokura and the introduction of the lord Hosokawa Tadaoki, there is also a "Yabusame" simulation experience area, where children and adults can have a lot of fun🎯! There is also a comparison wall of the Japanese castle height rankings, which can show the largest scale of famous cities in the country, which is of special educational significance📏.

Climbing to the top of the castle tower, you can enjoy a wide view of the Murasaki River and Kitakyushu city scenery. The greenery and modern buildings are intertwined, making it a good place to relax during the journey🌳🌇.

The "Kitakyushu City Museum" and "Matsumoto Seicho Memorial Hall" near Kokura Castle are also worth visiting, suitable for a half-day relaxing cultural tour. In addition, the square in front of the castle often hosts regional festivals and martial arts activities, making the entire Kokura city area the best starting point for travelers to get close to history and local customs👘✨.
