Yamashiro built by the first feudal lord Hiroie Yoshikawa

It was built in 1608 by the first feudal lord, Kikkawa Hiroie, and was located on the summit of Mt. However, eight years after the castle was built, it was demolished by the one-country-one-castle system, and the current castle tower was rebuilt in 1952. Inside the castle tower, you can see the precision model of Kintaikyo Bridge, photographs, swords and calligraphic works, and the castle tower is an observatory where you can enjoy the view of the city.
