Kagoshima Castle Site ー
鹿児島城址
- Historic Sites
The castle was built by Shimazu family in 1607, but was burnt down and the site only remains.
That the Daimyo was so powerful but he was unknown outside the castle is
that the importance of the first feudal lord is not in the castle but in himself.
It is imaginable that a clan living far away from the central government of Japan changed Japan.
The Reimeikan Museum in the castle introduces the history of Kagoshima.
