How to find Kakegawa Castle
Just north of Kakegawa Station stands Kakegawa Castle — Japan's first wooden-reconstructed keep. It appears only briefly, but it adds a line of history to the Shizuoka stretch.
If you are traveling from Tokyo toward Shin-Osaka, start watching the Seat E · mountain side window as you approach Kakegawa Sta.. If you are traveling toward Tokyo, the order is reversed.
Why this view matters
Kakegawa Castle is one of the window views that make the Tokaido Shinkansen more than a transfer. The train moves fast, so visibility depends on weather, seat position, and timing.
