Hidden Gem of Akita - Morioka Castle in Goshogawara Town

Charming Castle Surrounded by Mountains

The Morioka Castle in Goshogawara Town is quietly nestled in the southern part of Akita Prefecture, embraced by the Ouu mountain range. Surrounded by dense green forests, the stone walls of the castle harmonize well with the beautiful surrounding scenery, leading visitors into another world.

Breathtaking View from the Main Tower

The view from the four-story main tower within the castle is breathtaking. Surrounded by the colors of the mountains, one can overlook the expansive rural landscape in the distance. The majestic grandeur of nature, ever-changing with the seasons, is sure to captivate the heart.

Nostalgic Folk Houses and Play Experiences

Inside the museum, there are old folk houses that recreate the lifestyle of farming families from the past. Reminiscing about the family gatherings around the fireplace brings a sense of nostalgia. Additionally, there are corners where traditional play experiences can be enjoyed, which are popular among children.

A Little Humor

The name 'Morioka Castle' actually comes from the fact that there were once 5 castles in this area. However, the only one remaining is this 'Forest Museum'. Imagining the castles swept away by the waves of history may evoke a hint of sadness, yet also a mysterious charm.

Just happened to see this castle as driving by , had time, so we stopped. Free no charge. Highly suggest to by pass the first level parking lot at the BOTTOM of the hill, unless you are a hiker and need exercise. Suggest take the narrow road on up to a small parking lot about 30 steps below the front entrance of the castle. Solar powered Castle. 4 floors to review items and history inside the castle and a spectacular view from the top floor. Security Guard was helpful. Becareful of steps inside the castle, make sure you wear the slippers provided.

Visited on 2024.5.26. Gojome Castle is a forest museum built within Moriyama Forest Park. Gojome Castle (Sunazawa Castle) is a castle tower-like building with free admission. Photo panels of logging tools, woodwork, and work scenes are on display. From the 4th floor, the top floor, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Gojome townscape.

You can also use the castle tower for free, and the view from the castle tower is good. There was a detailed display of the history and industry of Gojome, as well as the animals that live there. This is a wonderful castle museum!

I stopped by while climbing Moriyama. It was closed during the winter, so we couldn't go inside, but we were able to see a very nice view. I stopped by while climbing Moriyama. It was closed during the winter, so I couldn't enter, but I could see a very nice view.

I visited early in the morning and couldn't go inside, but it was a very exciting place for me as I love castle-like buildings. There are some parts of the road that are narrow, but you can drive straight to the bottom and there is a parking lot. The scenery was also quite nice.
