Castles

Japanese castles are part of the feudal heritage of Japan. Each site holds unique architecture and family histories.

 

Many were destroyed over the centuries but have been resorted afterwards. Only 12 castles still have their original dungeon.

 

Visiting those sites will help you understand and know more about the History of Japan,

from the fortifications to the highest tower of the castle.

The appearance and atmosphere vary depending on where the castle is located and its historical background.

Some architectural features may include a defensive moat (hori), thick stone walls, shooting holes for arrows and guns; stone-dropping windows and a complex inner layout to confuse intruders.
