Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I didn’t have time but I stopped over on the local train to the Nishi-Yaizu station, caught a cab, asked the driver to wait, took a quick look see and returned to the train station. Nice setup of the re-built of some of the historical castle buildings.

Tanaka Castle was originally named as "Toku-Isshiki Castle" and built by Imagawas. And when Takedas dominated this area, Takeda Shingen change the name to "Tanaka" because the castle was located in the middle of rice fields. ("Ta" is Japanese for rice fields, and "naka" for middle. After Takeda, Tokugawas took over, and then Toyotomis, and Tokugawas dominated.
Now the place has a tower, a tea room and some old buildings as well as a garden. Volunteer guides are available at the office. If you like, brief costume of Bushi (a helmet, a vest and a katana) can be borrowed for your memorial photos.

This place is not exactly the castle ruins. It is part of Tanaka castle enclosure but it is the reconstructed garden of the samurai retainer and some buildings originally at the castle enclosures. The most prominent one is the two-storied tower which was originally at the main enclosure of the castle where an elementary school stands today. The garden uses the castle earthen wall as Tsukiyama (artificial mountain) , the canal for transportation as a pond. Two turtle stones as well as gold bamboo growth are also good.

Tanaka Castle ruins area have been so damaged beyond repair. You can still see the segmented part of the castle such as part of Ninohori(Second) Moat at the entrance of the Junior high school and Sannohori(Third) Moat near the gym of the Junior high school. To get these places you have to take a short walk about five minutes but there is no direction to lead these places as in some of the historical towns. The villa garden is in very inconvenient place if you use the public transportation. It takes about 25 minutes on foot from JR Nishiyaizu station.
