A spring park and the castle

#springwander The site of Nagahama Castle, which was abandoned in the Edo period, was developed as a park in 1909 (Meiji 42). The name of the park is named after Toyotako by Hideyoshi Toyotomi, the lord of Nagahama Castle. In 1983 (Showa 58), Nagahama Castle, which reproduces the castle of the Azuchi-Momoyama period, was restored in the park and opened to the public as a history museum. In addition, there is a statue of Hideyoshi and a stone monument of "Taiko Ido" on the shore of Lake Biwa. The park is surrounded by rich nature, and from late March to early April, there are about 150 red plums and white plums, azaleas from late April to early May, and fuji flowers bloom on the wisteria shelf in early May, which also delights the eyes.
