Venue: Tottori Castle Ruins
Tottori Castle Ruins are the remains of a castle that served as a stronghold for feudal lords who ruled this region during the turbulent warring period from the mid-15th century to the late 16th century. The site has also been designated as a national historic site. This unique mountain castle has an unusual form comprising multiple layers of stone walls built along the slope of a mountain. It continues to be preserved today as a cherished site that symbolizes the beautiful landscape and history of Tottori City.
The castle ruins are illuminated at night throughout the year. The stone walls and moat, standing out starkly against the darkness, create an illusion that is completely different from its daytime atmosphere, captivating visitors.
