Maruoka Castle

Marugang City is one of Japan's 100 famous cities, an important cultural treasure, is a Hirashiyama City with Japan's oldest sky. Marugang City is not Xiacheng. When the spring flowers bloom, the cherry blossoms around the ancient city are blooming. From a distance, it seems to be hidden in a sunset, and it is also a popular attraction for locals to enjoy the cherry. Maruoka City was built in the Warring States era, and has been governed by four generations of different forces. It is also a proud attraction for local residents.

Maruoka City is one of the existing twelve Tianshou Pavilion, not very high, only three floors. The traffic in Maruoka City is not very convenient, 4 kilometers away from Maruoka Station, and there is no car. You can only take the bus at Fukui Station or Awahara Hot Spring. The fare is relatively expensive and there is no way to use the JR pass.

It is the only existing castle tower in Hokuriku. I want to go on a sunny day this time.

Antique architecture - Japan Sakai City Maruoka City When I arrived at Sakai for the second time, my friend recommended the attraction of Maruoka City to me. The attraction is not very big, and it is very suitable as the end station of the trip to Japan. As the oldest castle in Japan's 12-day-old, Maruoka City is now listed as the national treasure of Japan and is a popular tourist attraction in Sakai City. There is no majestic building in Maruoka City on the periphery. The whole building is located on a stone pile. It is a three-story small building with a viewing building. Because the whole is basically wooden structure, it has a very antique atmosphere. It's a bit like an ancient Chinese temple building, but it's still in its own style. According to the tour guide, Marugang City also has an alias called Xiacheng, which is because when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom every year, the whole Marugang City is like a sunset, so it is named for this. We didn't go to the cherry blossom season, so we only saw a few sporadic, but there was a different kind of charm. The architectural history of the building is very rich, there are some small objects, very Japanese regional characteristics, on the third floor along the balcony can also overlook a small street view of Sakai City. The ticket for Maruoka City is 300 yen, equivalent to about 20 yuan, and the price is quite high. There are also some markets and various stalls around. Regarding food, I personally think that buckwheat noodles are a good choice. You can try it. Tips: 1. There is no parking spot around 2. The visit time is about one hour.

The historical relics of Japan say that the first time you think of Japan in your mind may be Japanese cherry blossoms, as well as sashimi, sushi, caviar and other delicacies, but today I want to punch in Japan's famous attractions (did you think of Mount Fuji, No, Nine Gang City Nine Gang City at first thought it was a bandit nest, but it was actually the opposite. The ancient clouds "people can not be seen, the sea can not be measured", Jiugang City is like this, not only is it not what we think of as a bandit nest, but also one of the actual Japanese existing sky guard "castles". The most special thing is the castle of Jiugang City. There used to be a princess who loved cherry blossoms, and the emperor loved the daughter very much, so he ordered the family to go and find the most beautiful cherry blossoms in Japan to plant in the castle. Every spring, when the flowers are blooming, people are attracted by the cherry blossoms here. The cherry blossoms here are especially rare their petals are orange-red wow. In the blooming season, orange red everywhere, like the evening glow, let people linger. 【Address】Shaojing City, Fukui Prefecture 910-0231 [Opening Hours] Saturday, 8：30 - 17：00
