Built by Sakai Tadakatsu (1594-1647) sometime in the early to mid 1600's, the foundation of the bell tower has been standing here for some 350 years. The Sakai were vassels of the Tokugawa and classifed as fudai daimyo, or hereditary daimyo. Although it was damaged by fire, it was rebuilt at here in 1893. It still rings four time per day, and stands over 16 meters above ground in the Kura-zukuri district of Kawagoe.
Azuchi-jo was the elaborate castle of daimyo Oda Nobunaga. Nobunaga was perhaps the greatest warlord in the history of Japan and had brought almost all of the country under his submission by the time of his death in 1582. His castle in Azuchi was a short distance from Kyoto, and was situated strategically among a mountain range and along portions of Lake Biwa.
It is said that Azuchi-jo may have been the greatest castle in Japanese history. It was seven stories high with an approximate height of 138 feet. Even more imposing is the fact that the tenshu sits on the top of Mount Azuchi with an elevation of almost 200 meters. It has residences for both of his top generals, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Toshiie Maeda to increase the security factor. Also, the mausoleum of Nobunaga sits near the top of the castle grounds. As you descend from the tenshu ruins, you may come across a sanjunoto (3-story pagoda) belonging to the old Soken-ji temple. I am shocked that no effort has been made to reproduce the castle in this location. A replica does exist, however, in Ise.
Rikugien Garden in Tokyo, in the grounds of the residence of a former Daimyo. In the Autumn they light up the trees and allow the public in until late. An absolutely beautiful experience.

"The tree was donated by Dr. Robert Gotcher. Historically this is one of the most important bonsai and the longest in cultivation in the United States. In 1863 during Lincoln's presidency, Mr. Burlingame was envoy to China. This tree was a gift to him as he passed through Japan on his return to the US."
Some of the best trees in Japan can be found here.
Hamarikyu Gardens is a public park alongside Tokyo Bay next to the futuristic Shiodome district. The park is at the mouth of the Sumida River and is a landscaped stroll garden surrounding Shioiri Pond, whose level changes with the tides. The park is surrounded by a moat filled by Tokyo Bay and was once the site of a villa of a feudal lord. It later became the Imperial guesthouse. In 1946 it became a public park. Traditional falcon and goshawk hunting techniques are demonstrated daily. I can't believe I missed that!

In 1874,the Meiji Era, the castle had been demolished by Meiji government. Ninety years later (1964), however, it had been rebuilt from concrete.

Hojo Soun (1432-1519) was the leader of the influencial samurai family, the Hojo. He was of Taira lineage and came from the Ise area. After invading Izu in 1493, he became the first of the Sengoku daimyo (feudal lords). His statue sits here in front of Odawara Station.
A statue of Yamanochi Kazutoyo (1545-1605) just outside of Kochi Castle. Yamanochi is responsible for building Kochi Castle and spent four years as the lord of the Tosa domain before passing control to his son upon death at age 60.
Kochi Castle, in the former Tosa domain, was originally constructed in 1601 following Tokugawa triumph at the Battle of Sekigahara. Most of the structures you will see here date back to the early-mid 1700's making it one of only twelve original castles left in Japan. It is definitely worth a visit for any castle lover, although it's quite a journey from Osaka (around five hours, all-together).

Shimabara castle in Shimabara City, Nagasaki Prefecture. The first feudal load of the castle was Shigemasa Matsukura, a Daimyo in the Edo Era. He had built it in 1625. This board is a guide for Shimabara castle Park.
Raised room where the daimyo would stay on occasion. When the room was occupied, a ninja would sleep behind the sliding doors at the back, according to my guide.

Rakurakuen Palace and its landscape garden were a residence of the daimyo (feudal lord) in the shadow of Hikone Castle. The garden dates back to 1677 and is modeled after the Omi Hakke which is a take on the Tang Dynasty's Eight Views of Xiaoxiang.
