Over
Korte feiten: The complex spans over 120,000 square meters with defensive structures including stone walls and moats. Visitors can explore restored wooden turrets that showcase traditional carpentry techniques without using nails.
Hoogtepunten: Its distinct white walls are treated with a mud plaster that helps resist fire and rain damage, an ancient method still preserved today. The castle grounds include the unique "Gyokusen'inmaru" garden featuring a pond with a rare koi species symbolizing good fortune.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes for walking on uneven stone paths.
- Head to the Gyokusen'inmaru garden for the best photo opportunities at sunset.
- Skip weekends if you prefer a quieter experience as it tends to get crowded.
- Bring a hat and water in summer as little shade is available on the outer grounds.
