What other travelers are saying about Koriyama Castle Ruins
Nice place. Beautiful Cherry and Plum Trees. Lots of volunteer guides available, Parking is all free and close from the station.
We have visited again during some festival (Oshiro Matsuri Festival) in the park. It was nice and each food stands are so reasonable in price. People works there was also nice. Cherry blossoms were 🌸 so impressive.
Went on a Sunday during cherry blossom season, while there’s a Castle Festival, lots of locals camping under the trees & kids playing around, lots of food stalls & super crowded.
Eating, drinking, hanging out, & chilling with family & friends, as how a Sunday should be.
For foreign tourists, if you want to avoid the crowds, better go on a weekday.
Castle is nice but really not that much to see or history to learn about.
I was not planning to come through here, but since it is near Kintetsu-Kōriyama Station, plus we had some time to burn as well. It's not a big place. It won't take long to finish the rounds around the place. Although it's not much, it is sufficient and pretty !
nice view on top, but nothing more. This castle is ruin. There is a small shrine on middle, it looks nice. May be you should visit in cherry blossom season, it is better.
A lesser know place good for plum and cherry blossoms. There is an interesting shrine surrounded by many tanks of goldfish.
Japan's oldest library is also located here, relocated from it's original location in Nara Park.
