Sunpu Park (Sunpu Castle) / 駿府公園(駿府城)


Sunpu Castle (駿府城 ,Sunpu-jō) is a Japanese castle in Shizuoka, which is the capital city of Shizuoka Prefecture in Japan. The sobriquet of this feudal fortress was the "Castle of the Floating Isle."
In pre-modern Japan, Sunpu Castle was the chief fortress in what was then known as Suruga province. The title "Sunpu" (駿府) is a contraction of Suruga no Kokufu.

駿府城(すんぷじょう)は、静岡県静岡市葵区(駿河国安倍郡)にあった城である。別名は府中城や静岡城など。江戸時代には駿府藩や駿府城代が、明治維新期には再び駿府藩(間もなく静岡藩に改称)が置かれた。
現在は内側の部分が公園になっており、史跡として保存されている。
