I could only do a quick walk around early in the morning, but even in winter this is a very unique place. Not to mention it's such an important location for Japanese history. I hope I can come back and see the view from the tower!

Nice place to take a walk, but don't expect much from a park perspective. The main two attractions are the Magistrate office and the nearby Observatory (both of which need payment for admission).
A brief walk to admire the stonework and bridge is about it. Not much of a view from the park itself.
Parking is a tad pricey, recommend taking public transport to get there and walk around thereafter.

Really lovely place full of history and wonder.
The restored building was great, you've got to take your shoes off so in the cold finding where the heating flooring pads were was a wonderful feeling hahaha
