Tsurugajo Castle
A symbol of Aizu, the impregnable castle that struggled to the end in the Boshin War
A famous castle with a tower that looks like a crane.
It is a symbol of Aizu that is thought of as a must-visit spot by both locals and tourists. The castle center is used as a museum to display various artifacts of the castle.
Many visitors also go to see the Prefectural Important Cultural Property in the castle, Chashitsu Rinkaku, the tea ceremony room said to have been built by Shoan, son of the tea master Sen no Rikyu.
From 12:00 noon, a Tsurugajo Castle bell ringing experience is led by a volunteer tour guide.
