Background:
Castle | Date | Comment |
---|---|---|
Bitchu Matsuyama Castle | Really cool. Definitely worth the hike | |
Fukui Castle | Only a couple of walls and a part of the moat remain. The rest of the grounds have been taken over by the prefectural government buildings. If you have a long stop over in Fukui than it is way better than waiting around on the platform for your next train, otherwise don't go out of your way for it | |
Futamata Castle | Small, not much to see besides the tenshu dai but it's interesting | |
Hamamatsu Castle | Small, not that authentic but a great place to enjoy Japanese gardens and sakura | |
Hikone Castle | Awesome castle. Not much inside but gorgeous from the outside. The grounds and garden are also excellent | |
Hiroshima Castle | Worth going to see but it is very modern on the inside | |
Inuyama Castle | Great castle and a great place to view the sakura. | |
Iwakuni Castle | Come for Kintaikyo Bridge, come up the mountain to this castle to see the bridge and the river from above | |
Kakegawa Castle | Hard to believe that it's a reconstruction but it is and a very good one. The hall is way cool. The tea ceremony is nice too. | |
Kanazawa Castle | The grounds are nice but only the main gate is original. A nice thing to see in conjunction with Kenrokuen | |
Kumamoto Castle | The extensive stone walls of this castle are amazing and the original turrets are incredible. The tower may be a reconstruction but that in no way detracts from the experience. In Kumamoto? Go! | |
Marugame Castle | The tower is very small and has few artifacts but the rock walls and the view are awesome. | |
Maruoka Castle | Small but don't forget it is the oldest in Japan and 80% of it is original. | |
Matsue Castle | This and Matsumoto Castle are tied for first place in my opinion. This was the first original castle I visited so I was really blown away by how amazing this castle is. | |
Matsumoto Castle | This was the first original castle I visited. It's tied with Matsue in my mind for first place. | |
