Hamamatsu Castle is within a wooded park.Jan 24, 2017
hm300-20170113_3237.jpg
Hamamatsu Castle is next to the city hall, a short bus ride from JR Hamamatsu Station (or a 20-min. walk). The main tower (seen on the left) was reconstructed in 1958. Very easy climb up some steps to the main tower which is a ferroconcrete building housing a museum. The top floor gives a nice panorama of the city. The castle's most famous occupant was Tokugawa Ieyasu in the late 17th century before he moved to Sumpu Castle.Jan 24, 2017

In 2014, the castle gate (seen on the right) was reconstructed in the traditional style. Jan 24, 2017
