Kochi Castle

Kochi Castle began construction in 1601 and was completed in 1611. It was burned down in 1727 and reconstructed in 1753 in its original form. Kochi Castle is especially notable for retaining its original form, making it the only castle to maintain its inner defense buildings. Kochi Castle is also noteworthy for its main tower not only serving military purposes but also housing the lord at the time.
