National Treasure [Hikone Castle 🏯]

🏖️Facilities: Hikone Castle is a flat castle built in the first half of the Edo period. It was built by the Ii clan👹, known as one of the Tokugawa Four Heavenly Kings, and the castle tower has been designated a national treasure🈯️. Various other facilities have also been preserved in very good condition. You can feel the atmosphere of the Edo period. 💞Reasons why we recommend it: Hikone Castle is a building that is expected to become a World Heritage Site🌍 in the future. We just happened to stop by the castle, but it was a much more impressive castle🏯 than we expected. The moat💦 in particular is solid, and the contrast with the stone walls is beautiful. You can also see Lake Biwa👀 from the castle tower. You might even meet Hikonyan. 📍Location: 🏣1-1 Kanagicho, Hikone, Shiga Prefecture, 522-0061 📍Access: 🚃About 15 minutes walk from JR Nagahama Station 🚙10-15 minutes from Hikone IC #Domestic travel record #Hikone Castle #Hikone sightseeing
