Good to know

Kakegawa Castle's keep was rebuilt in 1994 using traditional wooden methods, not concrete.
Kakegawa Kachoen is an indoor flower and bird park where you can see owls up close, good on a rainy day.
Try fukamushi-cha, the deep-steamed green tea Kakegawa is known for. It makes a light, easy gift.
