The castle, which was rebuilt and then destroyed several times, was last reconstructed in 1997. In 1953, the castle complex was declared a special historical site. Today, it houses a museum. Visitors must remove their shoes at the entrance before climbing the eight floors.

Hiking

A truly remarkable castle, and one of Japan's most famous. It's built on two elevated platforms, surrounded by a large moat. The central building has five visible floors and three hidden, windowless ones. It stands on a high stone base and, as was common with Japanese buildings in the past, was originally constructed almost entirely of wood. However, during its restoration in the early 20th century, the ruined castle was rebuilt almost entirely in concrete. During my visit (February 2026), it wasn't necessary to remove your shoes to enter.
