Guide to the 101 castles in Japan I've personally visited and 55 donated by readers. Begin by selecting from among these top castle categories or other articles.
Himeji Castle:
Himeji-jo is the most spectacular example of a Japanese castle in existence. The beauty of the donjon is unrivalled throughout Japan and the extent of surviving structures is amazing. Even for someone who is not particularly interested in castles or history a trip to Himeji-jo is fascinating. This can be a half day side trip on the way to Hiroshima or a short day trip from Osaka or Kyoto.
Kumamoto castle:
Not personally visited. Pictures donated by Pavel F. This is currently the #1 castle I want to visit. While the donjon and several structures are modern reconstructions, there are also several original structures and the castle itself well preserves the layout and atmosphere of these old, big Edo Period castles. Particularly in the past few years they have been rebuilding and restoring many structures for the 400th anniversary in 2007. When the lord's inner palace is completed in 2007 Kumamoto castle will be a most impressive tourist destination.
