Es bonito, pero es privado y está descuidadísimo. El entorno es especial y la bajada es bonita con el campo y la roca con la casita, pero.. da mucha pena cómo está mantenido, se le podría sacar mucho partido y que fuera un espacio disfrutable. Una pena. Habíamos leído que era un espacio de águilas y tampoco lo vemos un entorno para eso, pero no somos expertos, así que no sabemos ajjaja. Por cierto, nos han sorprendido mucho estas piezas numeradas que había por todos lados, no sabemos su uso y no conseguimos averiguarlo. Os dejo una foto, si alguien sabe qué son y para qué sirven, informádnos! Saludos!

Magnífico lugar. Muy emblemático. Desde el castillo se divisa toda la meseta. Las vistas son espectaculares. Tiene muchos viñedos alrededor. Es un lugar singular. Se puede alquilar para eventos y para pernoctar. Es una experiencia única. Recomendable visitarlo.

Not much to see. Castle is a private residence.

Goryokaku Fortress

Goryōkaku (五稜郭) (literally, 'five-point fort') is a star fort in the Japanese city of Hakodate on the island of Hokkaido. The fortress was completed in 1866. It was the main fortress of the short-lived Republic of Ezo.

Goryōkaku was designed in 1855 by Takeda Ayasaburō and Jules Brunet. Their plans was based on the work of the French architect Vauban. The fortress was completed in 1866, two years before the collapse of the Tokugawa Shogunate. It is shaped like a five-pointed star. This allowed for greater numbers of gun emplacements on its walls than a traditional Japanese fortress, and reduced the number of blind spots where a cannon could not fire.

The fort was built by the Tokugawa shogunate to protect the Tsugaru Strait against a possible invasion by the Meiji government.

Goryōkaku is famous as the site of the last battle of the Boshin War.
