»Kumamoto Castle« was one of the largest and most complete castles in Japan.

The castle was badly damaged in the earthquakes in April 2016. Foundations were damaged, walls collapsed and entire buildings collapsed. The interior is currently closed to the public, but it is possible to view the fortress from the outside.

It is expected to take around 20 years for the castle to be completely rebuilt.

At the time of my visit, the »Kato Shrine« was the closest place to the castle.

Kumamoto Castle is open to visitors again and is beautiful. The keep has been completely reconstructed and in it you can see contemporary pictures and weapons from the castle's warlike period. Be careful on the steep stairs that you climb up and down in socks or barefoot.

Only the floor plans of the residential buildings can be seen in the park.
