Kokura Castle
Kokura Castle is a symbol of Kokura built from the end of the 16th century to the early 17th century. The castle tower is called a "kara-zukuri castle tower" because there is no roof knee between the 4th and 5th floors, and the 5th floor is larger than the 4th floor. In addition, the stone walls of the castle are a natural grass without cut stones. You can experience its unique and exciting atmosphere. From the 5th floor on the top floor, take in great views of Kokura city.
