Kofu Castle, located in the Kofu City, Yamanashi prefecture, turned out coincidentally to be one of my favorite day trip during my trip in Japan. It was unplanned trip caused by coincidence as I went to a wrong train stop. Instead of getting back to the planned station, I decided myself to explore this unpopular city.
Kofu is a worth visiting since it has something to offer, which is Maizuru Park and Kofu Castle. This mesmerizing park will serve you with its peacefully vibes and the fresh air. This is perfect visiting around Spring season as there will be hundreds of cherry blossom trees blooming on the premises.
It is also superb comfy for you to have a relaxing time or stroll around the Castle.

After the destruction of the Takeda clan, which ruled the country of Kai, Kofu Castle was built by the order of Toyotomi Hideyoshi at the end of the 16th century. Part of the castle, which once boasted a vast castle of 20 hectares, is now open as Maizuru Castle Park.
In addition to the restored Inari turret and gates, the park is dotted with historical assets such as the stone walls at the time of the castle's construction. From the keep, you can see the Kofu Basin in 360 degrees, and you can also see the majestic appearance of the Southern Alps. The appearance of Mt. Fuji seen from here has also been selected as one of the "100 Fuji Views of Kanto".
