KOKURA CASTLE
MAPThe symbol of Kokura was built in 1602 by Tadaoki Hosokawa after about seven years of work. The castle is known for its famous “Karazukuri” exterior structure, which is similar to the watchtowers of early castle towers, and is currently popular for its exhibitions and other exhibits that make full use of advanced technology.

Its beauty is said to be “a night view worth 10 billion dollars,” and it is also one of the “New Three Great Night Views of Japan. The panoramic view from the top of the mountain is spectacular. Its easy accessibility is also an attraction.
