 Yoshida
Castle was originally built by the order of a feudal lord,
Kohaku Makino in 1505 under the name of Imahashi Castle.
It was occupied by many feudal lords in the Warring States
period. The castle name was changed later to Yoshida Castle
and Terumasa Ikeda occupied the castle after Hideyoshi Toyotomi
had control over all Japan. The castle itself was changed
from a middle age castle to a modern castle. Currently,
the ruins of the turret remain in the north side of the
park near the Toyogawa River. People may see the old image
of the castle in the reproduced turret iron tower and engraved
rock walls. A Green tea ceremony is served in a standing
manner at Sannomaru Kaikan located at the ruins of the Sannomaru
Enclosure. Many large old trees are preserved in Toyohashi
Park where Yoshida Castle is located, and the park is loved
by the citizens as an oasis of nature where you can see
wild birds even though it is located in the town area. |
