The castle tower of Maruoka-jo Castle has various distinct features, including decorative wrap-around verandas with high handrails, a well-lit interior compared with the other keeps among the 12 Existing Castle Towers, and slate roofs (with stone orcas) instead of clay tile roofs, which would crack in cold weather. |
飾り外廻縁と高欄を有し、「現存12天守」の中では採光がよく室内が明るい点や、寒さで割れてしまう粘土瓦の代わりに石瓦が葺かれている(石の鯱も展示)ことなどの特徴がある。 |
