A brief introduction to Fukuoka Castle and Maizuru Park and experience of cherry blossom viewing
Fukuoka Castle was built by the Japanese Warring States military commander Kuroda Takataka and his son. It took six years to complete. However, the oldest Fukuoka Castle painting "Fubo Soto" does not depict the castle, plus a subsequent letter unearthed, it is the country of Bunzen Ogura feudal lord Tadao Hosokawa wrote to Sano’s Tadori that “Nagamasa Kuroda demolished the castle for fear of the shogunate.” Therefore, it was judged that Fukuoka Castle did not have a castle.After wars, gunpowder explosions, and Meiji era abandonment orders, Fukuoka Castle is currently only leftover, Ishigaki, Ishigaki, and Hori, and it was registered as one of Japan's 18 most famous cities in Heisei XNUMX.
