Although
the
castle
building
itself
was
erected
in
1600s,
I
learned
that
an
original
old
(although
rudimentary)
castle
proceeded
it.
The
leaders
of
Yamauchi
clan
found
it
abandoned
and
decided
to
build
the
current,
more
modern
castle
from
the
ground
up.
The
castle
wasn't
as
big
as
its
contemporaries,
especially
considering
the
size
of
the
city
built
around
it.
However,
being
one
of
those
survived
the
calamity
of
World
War
2
intact,
it
is
a
gift
for
generations
to
come.
Like
other
Japanese
castles,
the
climb
to
the
top
of
the
main
structure
is
pretty
arduous,
with
steep
ladders.
Nevertheless,
the
view
of
the
city
from
the
top
is
rewarding.
Oh,
and
after
descending
from
it,
don't
miss
the
the
informative
diorama
displaying
whaling
activity
in
feudal
Japan
(Tosa
region
was
one
of
the
few
that
allows
this
industry
in
the
past),
which
is
almost
as
eye-opening.
