The White Castle is one of the symbols of Japan. There are fantastic views of the city from the top floor of the castle.

This castle is not only one of Japan's landmarks, but also the largest of its kind. It has not been attacked once in its history, as it was considered impregnable. If you walk through the wrong paths of the massive castle walls, you also know why.

The castle has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993. It has seven floors that can be visited. The entrance fee is 1,000 yen. Upon entering the castle, you must take off your shoes (as in any castle) and carry them with you in a bag. The castle has never been destroyed by fire or war and is one of the few remaining original castles. From the point where you validate your ticket to the point where you have to take off your shoes, you understand why the castle has never been conquered. The paths lead through thick walls and around many corners, perfect for keeping your opponent at bay.
