Kitakyushu Japan| Kokura Castle Walk and Tanga Market Tour Fukuoka, Japan | Julina Mugas

Описание: Kokura Castle

Kokura Castle, Kitakyushu, overlooking the Kanmon Straights, was first constructed in 1569 by the Mori clan, who lost it to Hosokawa Tadaoki following The Battle Of Sekigahara. Hosokawa rebuilt Kokura Castle in 1602, and with its completion in 1608, promoted trade and commerce in the surrounding town.

The swordsman Miyamoto Musashi stayed here for some time as a guest, and his adopted son, Miyamoto Iori served the second lord, Ogasawara Tadazane. A monument dedicated to Musashi stands in the castle grounds.

Kokura Castle was destroyed by fire in 1866 during the war between the Kokura Ogasawara and Choshu Mori clans. The Ogasawara lords, upon suffering defeat, set fire to, and razed the castle. The keep was rebuilt in concrete in 1959, and other parts in 1990. Like many castles across Japan, it was not faithfully reconstructed in the original, simple style, but in a more flamboyant, exciting way to make it look more appealing. Photographs of the keep taken from the south looking north often catch the gaudy, glaring, red shopping complex built directly across the northern moat.
