Summary: The charm of Minocheng and its current meaning
It holds an important position in the history of Japanese castle forts. This is the residence of Narimasa Tsuno, and after the defeat of Takeda Shingen, the most powerful man of the era; at the same time, this is the remains of the current castle fort that was rebuilt by Narimasa Ii.
Nowadays, the castle tower has disappeared, but it has never been seen again.The ancient Shinto castle tower tower has a large scale Hijikata process. The landscape of the dry castle river was constructed, but it was the treasure of the castle, and the essence of the fort in the time of the war was the present. The building was built on the banks of the city river, and the place was shaking, and we were not allowed to see it.The people who built it 500 years ago showed great skill and unremitting efforts.
It is not possible to see the castle in the city, but it is also a tourist attraction, and it is very expensive to understand the history of Japan and the “teaching materials” of the master’s wisdom. At the time of the tour, you must visit the fortress of the castle, and feel the castle of the country at the time.
Explore the castle fort, enjoy the historical charm of the castle, and enjoy the natural beauty of the city while walking. In the spring, when the red leaves bloom, and when the red leaves burn in the autumn, it is possible to enjoy the history and natural charm of the season, and enjoy the first authentic and fulfilling experience.
