The Four Seasons in Kakuzan Park
The people of Tsuyama affectionately call these castle ruins by the nickname “the castle mountain.” It is beautiful through all four seasons: spring brings cherry blossoms all around the castle grounds. In summer, the trees turn a lush green. Autumn is known for dazzling red leaves, and the snows of winter blanket the castle grounds in a tranquil hush. Each season offers its own unique beauty at Tsuyama Castle, and the transitions from one to the next can bring truly unforgettable moments.
