Traveler highlights
Tsutsujigasaki Castle was built in 1519 by Takeda Nobutora as his residence. For more than 60 years, Nobutora, Shingen and Katsuyori used it as the Takeda clan’s base for expansion. The site is in Kofu’s Kofuchu district. After the clan fell in 1582, the center of rule shifted to the newly built Kofu Castle, and Tsutsujigasaki was eventually dismantled. Stone walls, earthworks and moats remain, and the site is designated a National Historic Site as the Takeda Clan Residence Ruins. Takeda Shrine and a treasure hall now stand within the grounds, where visitors can walk among traces of the residence and its defenses. Unlike a large castle with a keep, the site shows the everyday home and governing center of a Sengoku-era lord.
