Matsue Castle and View of the City of Matsue - May 4, 2009

This video shows some of Matsue Castle in Matsue City, Shimane-ken. If you don't read the information at the beginning of the video then my friend Lisa kindly gives the brief version of the history of the Castle and it's preservation.

is this castle made out of wood only?

@KiLLeRxxBuNNy The base is stone and the rest is wood

Very, VERY, awesome video. Loved the to-scale model of the whole town. And thanks for that zoom-up at the start, interesting history :-)

Hey I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Castles, whether they're Japanese, British, or wherever else, have always been a big interest of mine

Thanks for putting this up. I was there about ten years ago and this brought back happy memories of my trip to Shinane. Thanks.

PJ! Glad you liked it. There will be some more videos of Shimane before it moves on to Kyoto.

I wanted to get in touch with you but we were only in Osaka for a total of like a day and a half. I'd like to come back at some point in the not too distant future so maybe we could meet up then ^_^

[kansaiPJ]

No worries. Next time you guys are in the area, lets meet up for drinks or dinner!

We literally just got back Friday morning and have been dead since that ride back from Osaka.

We'll come out soon though :)

I like the kid at about 2:25. "Waaaa! Sugoi!!"

Great view. But I had to cringe during that part with the stairs. I have a very irrational fear of stairs.

Come to Ijuin again sometime! :)
