There used to be a big clan’s castle in this Takeda Shrine’s area. In 16th century in Japan when the country was separated many clans under the feudalism with many civil wars, there was one of the strongest feudal warlord called Takeda Shingen in this Kofu area. He had a big castle here and you can see many structures of the castle including big moat around it. This shrine has a small museum where you can enjoy many samurai’s armors and helmets.
