🏯Aizuwakamatsu Castle｜Historic Castle in the Snow❄️⛩️

How can you miss the 🏯Aizuwakamatsu Castle, which has a history of more than 600 years, when you step into the winter fairy tale world of Fukushima Prefecture? This famous castle, also known as "Tsuruga Castle", is one of the most representative historical buildings in the northeastern region of Japan. The white walls and red tiles covered with winter snow seem to pull time back to the end of the shogunate. The castle was originally built in 1384 by Ashina Naomori, and was rebuilt by Kato Yoshiaki during the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era, and was eventually managed by the Matsudaira family of the Aizu Domain. The most moving thing is that during the Boshin War, the White Tigers fought to protect their country, leaving behind that poignant historical legend. 💔🗡️ Tsuruga Castle is particularly solemn surrounded by snow. Climb up the steps along the solid stone wall, and after climbing the castle tower, you can overlook the winter scenery of the entire Aizuwakamatsu City. 🌨️The mountains in the distance are as hazy as ink, and the pine forest in front of you is covered with snow, and every scene is like a scene from a Japanese drama. There is an exhibition hall in the city, which displays the letters of Matsudaira Yoshiyasu, the relics of the White Tiger Team, and the unique black lacquer samurai helmets and armor. 🖤✨Every exhibit brings people closer to that magnificent history. There are also kimono experiences and tea rooms in the museum, allowing you to experience the culture of Aizu in person🍵👘. If time permits, it is recommended to visit the nearby "Tsuruga Castle Inari Shrine"⛩️. The red torii is particularly bright against the white snow, and it is a great place to take pictures and pray📸🙏. Whether you are a history fan or a landscape control, Aizu Wakamatsu Castle is an indispensable stop on the winter trip to Tohoku. 📍This is not only a castle, but also a historical poem that quietly tells of glory and loyalty📖 📍Aizuwakamatsu Castle (Tsuruga Castle) 🕰 Opening hours: 08:30–17:00 (last admission 16:30) 🎫 Admission: Adults ¥410 🚌 Transportation: Take a bus from JR Aizuwakamatsu Station for about 20 minutes and get off at "Tsuruga Castle Entrance" #Tsuruga Castle #Aizuwakamatsu Castle #Tohoku Winter Travel #Fukushima Attractions #Snow Castle #White Tiger Team Spirit #Japanese Historical Attractions #TripMoment Style #Travel Photography Recommendations #Sign up for TripBest July Hotel Test Sleeper
