Fushimi Momoyama Castle is a replica castle tower built on the site of the former Fushimi Castle, which was built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1592, and is currently located within Fushimi Momoyama Castle Sports Park. It features an exterior that evokes the gorgeous Momoyama culture, and is recommended for strolling and photography.
The advantage of Fushimi Momoyama Castle is that you can easily enjoy its beautiful exterior and historical atmosphere. The current castle tower is a replica and you cannot enter the inside, but it is a valuable presence that conveys the appearance of Fushimi Castle built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi to the present day. In particular, the castle tower is decorated with a multi-layered roof and gives a sense of the splendor of Momoyama culture at that time. The surrounding sports park is large and suitable for strolling in a lush environment. You can enjoy the scenery of the four seasons, with beautiful cherry blossoms in spring and autumn leaves in autumn. Another attraction is that there is no admission fee, so you can drop in casually.

It was abandoned in 1619 and there are not many documents as it is a phantom castle, but it seems that stone walls have been discovered recently.

On the other hand, there is a disadvantage: the current castle tower does not meet earthquake resistance standards and entry inside is prohibited. Therefore, you cannot tour the inside of the castle or enjoy the view from the castle tower.
