94)Nakatsu Castle (Japan’s three major water castles)A castle built by Kanbei Kuroda.(Oita)

It is located in Nakatsu City, Oita Prefecture.
Construction of the castle began in 1588.
It was completed in 1621.
The castle was built by Kuroda Kanbei and is said to have been completed by Hosokawa Tadaoki.
It is considered one of Japan’s three major water castles, along with Imabari Castle and Takamatsu Castle.
From the middle of the Edo period until the Meiji Restoration, it was the residence of the Okudaira family.
In 1870, on the advice of Yukichi Fukuzawa, a retainer of the Nakatsu clan, the palace was left and the other buildings were destroyed.
A mock castle tower was built in 1964.

This is a video of a 48-year-old bachelor who silently visited the castle by himself.
I am posting a visit record of historical remains such as castle ruins that I visited as I thought, based on the belief that I do not flock and do not flirt.
