Okazaki Castle is where Tokugawa Ieyasu was born. There are many legends surrounding dragons, and it is also known as the Dragon Castle. It is said that when Takechiyo (later Ieyasu) was born, black clouds swirled above the castle and a golden dragon appeared. The three-story, five-story castle tower was rebuilt in 1959 and is beloved among locals as a symbol of Okazaki City. Due to its historical value, it was selected among Japan's 100 Famous Castles in 2006. It is just a short walk from the storehouse of Hatcho miso, a specialty of Okazaki.
