About Kofu Castle (Maizuru Castle Park)
Maizuru Castle Park is a must-visit symbol of Kofu for history enthusiasts. Built under the orders of Toyotomi Hideoshi following the fall of the Takeda clan, the site preserves the grandeur of the past through its striking stone walls and the reconstructed Inari Yagura tower. The scenery is particularly stunning during cherry blossom season, when flowers bloom around the historic structures. Located just a short walk or bike ride from Kofu Station, it is a perfect spot to enjoy a blend of historical exploration and natural beauty.
