Floating Castle in the Seto Inland Sea

Tamamo Park is located on the former site of Takamatsu Castle, built by Ikoma Chikamasa. This castle is known as one of Japan's three major water castles, and it features a unique structure that ingeniously incorporates seawater from the Seto Inland Sea.

Dreamy Castle Floating on the Sea

The moat actually draws in seawater, allowing you to see schools of sea bream up close. It is a rare castle site where you can enjoy feeding the fish. From the restored buildings, you can glimpse the appearance of that time and experience the charm of the castle.

Stroll through Historical Paths

Various historical remains that preserve the appearance of the castle, such as stone walls, turret gates, and gardens, are scattered throughout. You can stroll along quiet paths and contemplate the history of Takamatsu Castle and castle culture.

Convenient Urban Oasis

It is within walking distance from Takamatsu Station and has a free parking lot, making it easily accessible. Amidst the bustling city, the park on the castle ruins offers a tranquil space.

At Tamamo Park, you can enjoy a luxurious time experiencing both the charm of the castle floating on the sea and the natural beauty of the Seto Inland Sea, while feeling the historical value.

A nice Japanese park where you can see parts of a castle. Even though it costs a small admission fee, It is well-maintained and the views are pretty nice. Unfortunately a Japanese house inside is currently under renovation, but you can still enjoy the views, a Japanese boat ride, and fish feeding inside.

Very interesting sea-side castle that has largely remained intact. The moat connecting to the sea lets in loads of fish. Worth the admission if you have time to spare.

An excellent castle park with well preserved moats, fortifications and good facilities. Very handy for Takamatsu port and town centre and with a very reasonable entry price.

It is special that the castle ruin is at the coastal area, which is not common in Japan. There is an admission fee of 200yen. The environment is cozy. It is glad that the park staff appears very devoted to keep the plant healthy!
