Marugame Castle Experience

Located in Kagawa Prefecture on Shikoku Island, Marugame Castle is a landmark with over 400 years of history. Renowned as one of Japan's twelve remaining original castles, it offers a glimpse into the legacy of the Kyogoku family, who ruled for over two centuries. In July 2024, a new exclusive experience was launched, providing a luxurious journey back in time, just a short distance from Marugame Station.

The experience begins with a scenic rickshaw ride from Marugame Station, offering a unique leisurely way to approach the castle. Guests then enjoy a private tour of the castle grounds and its rich history. One standout feature is exclusive access to the castle keep at night, usually closed to the public. While guests do not stay in the castle, the beautifully renovated Enjukaku Annex offers a luxurious space for dining and relaxation. Featuring Edo-period transom carvings and ornate metal fittings, it allows guests to experience the elegance of the past. Here, guests can indulge in exquisite dishes crafted with the finest local ingredients.

A dedicated concierge ensures every detail of the experience is personalized, enhancing its exclusivity and luxury. For those wishing to explore Marugame and the Setouchi region further, optional activities such as private cruises and a Kagawa Lacquerware Making Experience are available. Immerse in history and tradition with this once-in-a-lifetime experience at Marugame Castle.
