Background: Just an old soul visiting Japan's castles whenever life circumstances permit.
| Castle | Date | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Osaka Castle | 03/12/2013 | #1 My first Japanese castle visit. I worked very briefly in Japan during this time. |
| Kakegawa Castle | 29/10/2016 | #2 Nice little castle on a small hill. |
| Kanazawa Castle | 02/11/2016 | #3 Beautiful town with lovely gardens and spacious castle grounds. |
| Matsumoto Castle | 07/11/2016 | #4 Spectacular tenshu. |
| Hirosaki Castle | 09/11/2016 | #5 Main keep was detached and moved for repair. Vivid autumn leaves and an unexpected snowfall still made it unforgettable. |
| Hikone Castle | 10/11/2016 | #6 Magnificent castle, especially walls and tenshu. |
| Inuyama Castle | 11/11/2016 | #7 Lovely castle in lovely town, nice views from the top of the tenshu. |
| Nagoya Castle | 11/11/2016 | #8 Large rebuilt castle. The palaces are beautiful. |
| Aizu Wakamatsu Castle | 13/11/2016 | #9 Large tenshu, beautiful surroundings, especially in autumn. |
| Ueda Castle | 14/11/2016 | #10 The gate between the two yagura is seriously impressive. |
| Komoro Castle | 14/11/2016 | #11 Lovely castle ruins and park. Tenshu foundation still remains. |
| Odawara Castle | 16/11/2016 | #12 Nothing like what it used to be in the Sengoku era, but still majestic in its own way. |
| Kochi Castle | 04/11/2017 | #13 Lots of original structures makes this one of the great Japanese castle sites to visit. |
| Uwajima Castle | 05/11/2017 | #14 So much to see here despite the grounds not being very large. |
| Maruoka Castle | 07/11/2017 | #15 Long walk from the train station but this small castle is still worth it. |
| Nijo Castle | 08/11/2017 | #16 Magnificent, but a shame it's so damned crowded! |
| Imabari Castle | 09/11/2017 | #17 Tenshu, some yagura and a tidal moat. What more could you want! |
| Iyo Matsuyama Castle | 09/11/2017 | #18 My favourite castle of all. The stone walls are extensive and the on-foot approach up the hill is worth the effort. |
| Okayama Castle | 11/11/2017 | #19 The most evocative tenshu I've ever seen. |
| Bitchu Matsuyama Castle | 11/11/2017 | #20 Spectacular walk to a mountain castle with amazing walls. Very rewarding. |
