Continuing our expansionism, we need to take Hitoyoshi Castle before the nearest of our main rivals manages to take it, as it is an incredibly important place to get. Castles are much more important than fortresses, so it was a great place to grab.

【日本100名城】薩摩国鶴丸城（鹿児島城） 平成26年(2014) 冬
2014年の12月下旬。鹿児島県鹿児島市にある鶴丸城(鹿児島城)を訪れました。
慶長6年(1602)、島津家十八代家久によって築かれ、以来十二代二百七十年間、明治の廃藩置県まで島津氏の本拠でした。
本丸、西隣に二の丸の連郭式の簡素な縄張りで、表には家臣団の武家屋敷、裏には詰の城として城山（上山城）があり、山頂(107m)からは鹿児島市街や錦江湾、桜島等が一望できます。
