Hikone Castle stands on Mt. Konki with a view of Lake Biwa and is a special historical site and a Class 1 Special Area of Lake Biwa National Park representing Hikone, Shiga Prefecture. The castle is a must-see for history buffs, as you can see swords, armor and other valuable instruments used by Daimyo (Japan's feudal lords). In this article, we'll introduce Hikone Castle, which has been designated a national treasure, alongside the video. What Is Hikone Castle? Photo:Shiga Prefecture・Hikone Castle Hikone Castle is a castle located in Hikone, Shiga Prefecture, which was once a prosperous castle town. It features one of Japan's 12 existing castle towers (five national treasures and seven important cultural properties) and is a popular tourist spot in Shiga Prefecture. It was built by Ii Naomasa and Ii Naotsugu who were ordered by Tokugawa Ieyasu to build the castle after the Battle of Sekigahara. The castle was completed in 1622, 20 years after construction began. You can see the entirety of Hikone Castle at 0:31 in the video. Currently, there are 12 castles built up to the Edo period (1603-1868), that still remain today with existing castle towers. Five castles, including Hikone Castle, have been selected as national treasures. Besides Hikone Castle, Inuyama Castle in Aichi prefecture, Matsumoto Castle in Nagano prefecture, Himeji Castle in Hyogo prefecture, and Matsue Castle in Shimane prefecture, are also designated as national treasures. Hikone Castle is a magnificent castle that has passed the beauty, age, and historical standards to be designated as a national treasure. As you can see from 0:59 in the video, a stone statue engraved with the words "The 8 views of Lake Biwa, Hikone Castle," has been erected in the moat of Hikone Castle. Highlights of Hikone Castle Source :YouTube screenshot The appeal of Hikone Castle is that its beautiful and dignified appearance survived the order to abandon castles and the fires from the war in the Meiji period (1868-1912). The construction of the castle is characterized by its use of stone walls and lumber from neighboring castles. The Tenshu (castle tower), Tsuke-yagura (attached towers), the Sawaguchi Tamon watchtower, and the three-storied western citadel watchtower, which were built before the Edo era, are designated as national treasures, and are one of the attractions of Hikone Castle. You can also see the Taikomon watchtower and Tenbin watchtowers in a very similar state as they were back then. The Hikone Castle Museum, located near the castle, is a must-visit spot for any history buffs out there. There are swords and helmets that were passed down to the the Ii Family, the Hikone clan leaders, that are exhibited there and you can also see valuable cultural assets. Beautiful Japanese swords that have been handed down from generation to generation in the Ii family are also on display. The exhibits of the Hikone Castle Museum can be seen at 2:12 in the video.
