~ ancient look-out ~

" Osumi-yagura " tower of the former Kubota Castle. Osumi-yagura literally means a look-out or a guard house and warehouse built at every corner of the bailey. There used to be 8 towers in the " Kubota Castle " in the time of Lord Satake. All was lost but in 1989 this one tower was restored by the city on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of municipalization. Small by todays standards but since its on top of a small mountain, the guards have a whole view of the city.
