商品説明
Kumamoto Castle (Entrance Fee Included)/ Josaien Garden Kumamoto Castle, together with Osaka Castle and Nagoya Castle, is one of the three most famous castles in Japan. It was built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi's general, Kato Kiyomasa, when he was the lord of Kumamoto Castle, and it has a very important place in the hearts of the Japanese people. When Kato Kiyomasa built the castle, he planted a large area of ginkgo trees, the fruits of which could be used as a war reserve, in consideration of the need for food supply in the city in case of a siege. For this reason, Kumamoto Castle is also called “Ginkgo Castle”. It is also famous for cherry blossom viewing (around the end of March and the beginning of April every year).
