📍Selected as the 9th of Japan's 100 Greatest Castles! ! 🌟You can finish touring in about an hour. Kubota Castle was built by Satake Yoshinobu and was used as the residence of the prestigious Satake clan until the Meiji era. By the way, when it was first built, it was written as "Kubota Castle", but it was renamed to "Kubota Castle" from 1633 (Kan'ei 10) to 1645 (Shoho 2). One of the characteristics of Kubota Castle is that, although it is a castle from the Edo period, it has almost no stone walls and is built on earthen ramparts (hachimaki dote). In addition, due to consideration for the shogunate or financial circumstances, a castle tower was not built. Currently, it has been developed as "Senshu Park" and is popular as a place of relaxation for citizens and as a famous cherry blossom spot. 🚩Route 1-1 Senshu Park, Akita City, Akita Prefecture 🚶♂️Access About 15 minutes walk from Akita Station #Akita #Kubota Castle #Autumn leaves #Castle #Tohoku #History
