Thank you for the wonderful information. It seems like we could write an engaging and interesting article about Fukuyama Castle Park. How about the following structure?
The Fukuyama Castle, as seen from the Shinkansen window, appears like a castle from a dream. Upon arriving at the station, the majestic main keep unfolds before your eyes. Fukuyama is one of the only two 'station-front castles' in the country, along with Himeji Castle, that can be seen from the station platform.
Despite its 400-year history, Fukuyama Castle has undergone the latest renovations. The exterior has been rejuvenated with new colors, and the evening illumination creates a fantastical atmosphere. While cherishing its history, the castle demonstrates a sophisticated attitude by adding new charms.
Although the main keep stands out, the "Fushimi Yagura" near the entrance of the castle compound is the real highlight. This is the only building that survived air raids and still retains its appearance from 400 years ago. In addition to the jutting-out style of the O-yagura, and the rare Tsukimi Yagura with high railings, the more you look, the more charm you will discover.
During cherry blossom season, Fukuyama Castle is bustling with flower-viewing guests. In autumn, the colorful foliage spreads along both sides of the walking path. Not only can you enjoy the natural scenery throughout the year, but you might also get to see the adorable "Cat Lord" that has taken up residence in the castle.
