Hamamatsu Castle was built by Tokugawa Ieyasu, and it is also called "Shusse-jo (The Castle of Success)". From the observatory, you can see the city of Hamamatsu, in the castle there are many historical materials, armor, etc. related to Ieyasu and castle town "Hamamatsu." Also, Hamamatsu Castle Park, where Hamamatsu Castle is located, serves as a central park of Hamamatsu City for the locals to relax. In spring, it is a popular spot for cherry blossoms, and is crowded with visitors. To commemorate your visit to Hamamatsu Castle, we recommend that you get a "Gojyoin (a red stamp issued at the castle" (300 yen each). (January 1 only, opens from 6:30am to 4:30pm) (Closed: December 29-31) In addition, "Motoshirocho Toshogu" is a 5-minute walk from Hamamatsu Castle. It is also called "Shusse Jinja (Shrine of Success)" as the place where two warlords, TOKUGAWA Ieyasu and TOYOTOMI Hideyoshi, were led to Tenkabito (People who unified the whole of Japan), and many worshipers visit.

The castle is very well preserved and its in the middle of yhe city,very close to Hamamatsu Station. Doesn't take very long to roam around it as its a small castle in comparison to other big ones.
