사람이 매우 많아 긴 줄을 감수해야 하니 주의하세요.

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.

Today the castle closed at 4:30 p.m. Admission is 500 yen.

There is also a stamp station for the Eki stamp book.

The early bird... in the morning, the chances are still good to photograph the castle with few visitors.

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.

During the Edo period, this was the main entrance, known as the Otemonguchi Gate. At that time, it was three-story and the most dignified and secure gate of the castle. However, it was demolished during the Meiji period. The Otemon Gate, as we see it today, was rebuilt in 1938 with a modified design.

You can even visit the castle twice. You'll always discover new areas. It's also incredible that two very large stones (the largest of which is almost 60 square meters) were transported here for the construction of the stone wall... weighing over 100 tons.
