Hiking
On the southwest corner of the Honmaru there used to be a five-story keep with 6 stories inside. The tower was moved here from Fushimi Castle in southern Kyoto. In 1750, the tower was struck by lightning and burned down. It was not rebuilt, but the stone walls on which it once stood have been preserved and offer expensive views of the Honmaru-goten palace, the Honmaru gardens and the city of Kyoto.

Strong, monumental and impressive, yet it still radiates a certain calm. Typical castle wall with a water feature.
