Are you and your family interested in
Japanese Castle Ruins or Samurai lords? I'd like to introduce an exciting free tour in Hachioji City here!
【Hachioji Castle Ruins
& Samurai Armor Dress Up】
In the 1580s, Hachioji
Castle was built on Mt.Fukasawa (near current Takao town, Hachioji city) by the
Samurai lord Ujiteru Hojo. The location was naturally impregnable so Ujiteru
believed his castle was safe against enemies. However, just few years later the
most powerful Samurai lord at that time attacked the castle during Ujiteru’s
absence, and it fell in only one day. Although the castle buildings were
completely destroyed, with its well preserved ruins Hachioji Castle was chosen
as one of The 100 Best Castles by the Japanese government and now it is one of a
castle fans’ must-see-spots. Also it is a nice place for nature lovers due to
its mountainous locale.
We, Hachioji Castle Mitsu Uroko
Club, would like to invite you to participate in a trial tour in
preparation for some future events. An English speaking guide will take you
to look around Hachioji Castle Ruins. After the tour you can try out Samurai

like to ask you to give feedback by completing a survey.
