Kagoshima Castle, also known as Tsurumaru Castle, is a historic site located in Kagoshima, Japan. Originally built in the early 17th century, it served as the residence of the Shimazu clan, a powerful samurai family. The castle was strategically positioned to oversee the surrounding area and protect the region. Today, only a few structures remain, as the castle was largely destroyed during the Meiji Restoration. The site features beautiful gardens and offers panoramic views of Sakurajima, an active volcano nearby. Visitors can explore the castle ruins and learn about its rich history through informative displays.
