The kit uses many precision laser-cut parts and has an easy-to-assemble structure. The view from the northwest side of the castle tower, Honmaru Palace, Higashita turret, corridor gate, and Yahajima fence faithfully reproduces the characteristic castle structure that prevents easy invasion by enemy camps. Construction began in the early Edo period by Kazutoyo Yamauchi, the first lord of the Tosa domain. It was completed during the era of the second generation Tadayoshi. It was destroyed in a great fire in 1727, and the existing castle tower was rebuilt in 1749. It has been designated as an important cultural property of the country as it has survived the Castle Abandonment Order and the destruction of the Pacific War, and is the only castle with its castle tower and Honmaru Palace remaining. The castle tower is a gazebo-type castle tower with a four-story exterior (3 floors and 6 floors internally), a large gable-style roof with a round railing, and a round, triangular, and arrow-shaped wall for attacking with guns and arrows. It has a rectangular hole. It is said that the castle tower of Kakegawa Castle, which was Kazutoyo's previous residence, was modeled after that. *This product is a wooden model that requires assembly. *Adhesive, tools, paint, etc. are required separately for assembly and painting.
