Kofu Castle

山本敏 via Google Maps

Once a formidable feudal stronghold, Kofu Castle—also known as Maizurujo Park—now invites visitors to wander among well-preserved stone walls, reconstructed turrets, and historic gates. The elevated grounds offer sweeping panoramic vistas across the city and toward the surrounding mountain ranges. Stroll through the tranquil Japanese garden and scale the ancient stone foundations to experience Yamanashi's rich samurai history right in the heart of town.
