Kumamoto Castle

Kumamoto Castle is easily one of Japan's best. The fact that it lacks it's original central tower and instead has a concrete reproduction in its place is indeed a shame. Concreteness aside, it is absolutely awesome.

This video shows me walking around the outside (and even then, not all). For more information, pictures, etc... check out: http://www.japanese-castle-explorer.com/castle_profile.html?name=Kumamoto

@tornados28 What's in the vid isn't the half of it. The place blows me away each time. Have you visited?

What a beautiful castle!! :D I haven't been to a real castle yet in Japan. Like, I went to Osaka Castle, but that's no longer original... lol I wanna go to one! :D Thanks for showing me how cool these castles are!

@LaurenNIHON Hey, thank's for dropping by. I was actually unsure whether to post this video in the first place. Not only was I frozen like a popsicle, but it was just me walking around the outside. There really is so much more to see.

As for Osaka castle, I've been twice but never entered the main tower. And, I think you know why I haven't.

No I have never been that far south. Some day I hope to.
