店舗の説明
17世紀初頭、 細川忠興によって築城され、その後小笠原氏の居城となった。 幕末の第二次長州征討で石垣を残して焼失したが、昭和34(1959)年に天守閣が再建された。天守閣1階に大迫力のシアターがあり、 小倉藩約400年の歴史を学べるほか、 3階では巌流島の戦いをテーマにした展示が見られる。 最上階からは小倉の街を一望できる。小倉城の周辺は公園として整備されており、 春は桜の名所として多くの人が訪れる。大名庭園や武家の書院などを再現した小倉城庭園のほか、小倉出身の作家、松本清張記念館や、大型商業施設のリバーウォーク北九州など観光スポットが目白押し。

Built in the early 17th century by Tadaoki Hosokawa and later served as the residence of the Ogasawara clan, Kokura Castle was burned down with only the stone walls remaining during the Second Choshu expedition in the late 19th century. However, the castle was reconstructed with a new keep in 1959. The first floor of the keep features a dynamic theater where visitors can learn about the history of the Kokura domain, which lasted about 400 years, and the third floor has exhibits on the Battle of Ganryujima. From the top floor, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the city of Kokura. The surrounding area of Kokura Castle has been developed into a park, which is a popular spot for cherry blossom viewing in spring. In addition to the Kokura Castle Garden, which reproduces a daimyo garden and a samurai residence, there are many other tourist attractions such as the Matsumoto Seicho Memorial Museum, which commemorates the famous writer from Kokura, and the large commercial facility, Riverwalk Kitakyushu.
