Tottori Castle Ruins / Kyusho Park

鳥取城跡・久松公園

Tottori · Chugoku

The ruins of the Ikeda clan's hilltop-and-hillside castle, built on the steep slopes of Mount Kyusho and overlooking central Tottori City. Stone walls, moats, and reconstructed gates survive across the site, now maintained as Kyusho Park with seasonal cherry blossoms.

Why it's hidden

Pairs naturally with Jinpukaku next door for a half-day in the prefectural capital.
