It is said that Rinkichiro Kinoshita built this castle in one night, and it was the starting point of the Taikoh’s success story. The castle tower-shaped historical museum with pure gold ornamentation stands on the ruins of this castle, where you can meet the young Hideyoshi as he unfolds the path to the construction of Sumimata Castle. From the observatory, you can see the Nagara River, Mt. Kinka, Mt. Ibuki, and the Yoro Mountains, and the view during the four seasons is superb.
