Overview

Suwahara Castle, located in Suruga-ku, Shizuoka City, is the site of a castle once built by Tokugawa Ieyasu. In 1590, when Ieyasu entered Sunpu Castle, he constructed Suwahara Castle to defend Sunpu. After the Meiji Restoration, it was abandoned and is now a well-maintained park. The park preserves remnants of the castle, such as stone walls and moats, allowing visitors to connect with its rich history. Well-maintained walking paths wind through the park, offering a chance to enjoy the abundant natural beauty. Spring brings a spectacular display of cherry blossoms. Suwahara Castle played a significant role in Tokugawa Ieyasu's life, making it a valuable site for learning about its history. It's also a wonderful place for those seeking a tranquil escape in a naturally beautiful setting.
