Wakayama Castle

Wakayama Castle was the residential castle for the Kii Tokugawa clan, one of the Tokugawa Gosanke (The Three Houses of Tokugawa) that was second in seniority to the Tokugawa shogunate family during the Edo Era. The entire area has been made into a park with a museum, a zoo and an Edo Era daimyo garden, Ninomaru Teien. Within the garden, ninja warriors pop up who provide directions and take commemorative photos while giving performances.
