Local historyFirst-visit planCheck transport

Hi, I’m Tabi!

Visit the reconstructed gate and main bailey remains at Hachigata Castle Park in Yorii. These are two stops within the same castle site, where the focus is on terrain and surviving remains rather than a skyline of castle buildings.

This guide covers places within Yorii, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Reconstructed gate at Hachigata Castle Park01

A first-visit stop

Reconstructed Gate at Hachigata Castle Park

鉢形城公園の復元門

The gate pictured here is a modern reconstruction. The park presents surviving remains alongside reconstructed features. Read the interpretation boards and follow designated paths rather than treating the gate as an untouched original.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

Trees and earthen slopes at Hachigata Castle’s main bailey02

A first-visit stop

Hachigata Castle Main Bailey Remains

鉢形城本曲輪跡

This stop within the same park offers a closer look at the castle terrain. The photograph shows trees and earthen slopes, not a keep. Take care on slippery ground after rain and near edges.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Yorii promotes mikan grown around Fuppu and Kanao. Picking depends on the season and participating orchards; check the current year’s schedule and admission, and do not pick fruit from ordinary walking paths.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the first destination’s permitted entrance → public areas. Choose the other stop after checking separate transport and access.

Check the walking route

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check entry arrangements and return transport first.
  • Choose one stop to suit weather, slopes and local restrictions.
  • Respect private areas and photography rules; check food ingredients locally.
