nice little castle and the river confluence
only 200 yen to enter
and interesting exhibition on the 3 legendary warlords of the 戰國時代。
there is no lft and you have to climb up 5 flights of stairs with nice views of gifu and nagoya
cherry blossoms not yet unfortunate
Well restored castle in a quiet riverside location,200 yen entry fee and you can climb to the top.Plenty of historical displays but all in Japanese only.
Unlike what another reviewer claims, there is bus service from both Ogaki Station and Gifu Station. From the bus stop it's a bit of a walk to the castle but easily within walking distance for most people.
I went at the height of cherry blossom season which really made it worth the trip. The interior of the castle is pretty much a museum like Ogaki Castle or how Gifu Castle was before the interior was renovated. I liked the castle well enough but the cherry blossoms were the main attraction.
Restored castle, interior was modern but explanation all in Japanese. There was nothing around the area.
We went in the evening to avoid crowds and see the lights. The grounds are lovely and we were blown away by the size of the castle itself.
