About “Tamaru Castle Ruins”
Tamaru Castle Ruins, the symbol of TamakiTown, is one of the most famous castles in Minamiise, built in 1336 by Chikafusa Kitabatake. The castle was abandoned during the Meiji Restoration, and today only the stone walls remain.
In addition to admiring the stone walls and maple trees, you can also see the autumn leaves reflected in the water at the biotope in front of the indoor gymnasium.
Ginkgo biloba can also be found at the Tamaru Castle Ruins!
Fujimi Gate, which was built in the middle of the Edo period, still retains its original form and can be admired along with ginkgo trees.
