Built by the famous Sengoku-period general Akechi Mitsuhide, Fukuchiyama Castle is a leading fortress in northern Kinki, featuring a reconstructed castle tower and original "Nozura-zumi" (natural stone) walls. These walls include "Tenyo-seki" (reused stones) like gravestones, reflecting the urgency of the construction at the time. The tower interior serves as a local history museum, allowing visitors to learn deeply about Mitsuhide's history. The top floor offers a magnificent panorama overlooking Fukuchiyama streets and the Yura River. It's a must-visit for history fans to enjoy Japanese castle beauty and castle town history while reflecting on Mitsuhide's "intellect" and "sincerity."
