Morioka Castle Ruins

Reviewed By Annabele_8314 - New York City, United States

Historical place to visit Morioka Castle is a hirayama-style Japanese castle constructed in 1611. It was the seat of the Nanbu clan, a tozama daimyō clan who ruled over Morioka Domain, Mutsu Province in the Tōhoku region of northern Japan. The castle is located in what is now central Morioka, Iwate Prefecture, Japan If you're lucky then you'll see an amazing leaves with all kind of color in Autumn. I was so lucky to see those beautiful season in Japan.
