Hakodate: One of the 100 Famous Castles in Japan You Can't Miss - Goryokaku Ruins

Goryokaku is a five-pointed star-shaped fortress located in Hakodate City. It was built at the end of the Edo period by the Tokugawa Shogunate to strengthen the northern defense and resist foreign forces. Goryokaku is the most representative star-shaped fortress in Japan. It is also the only castle open to tourists, where you can clearly see the full view of the pentagon from high altitude. It's a pity that I didn't go up the tower this time, but it's worth visiting the park! Goryokaku is also the battlefield where the shogunate's power collapsed and the Meiji Restoration began its modernization reforms. Cherry blossoms 🌸 represent samurai, so the city is full of cherry blossoms. It is a famous cherry blossom viewing spot when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom in spring. #Hokkaido #Samurai
