Hagi Castle
 
basic information

Hagi Castle was built in 1604 and served the next two and a half centuries as the seat of the local Mori daimyo (feudal lords). After the end of Japan's feudal era in the second half of the 19th century, the castle was destroyed, and only its ruins survive today.

Hagi's castle ruins are located in the pleasant Shizuki Park at the northwestern tip of the city. Besides viewing the moats and ruined fundaments of the former castle, you can enjoy a cup of powder green tea (matcha) at the Hananoe teahouse.
