Hizen-Kashima Station on the Nagasaki Main Line; 20 minute walk
Kashimajō has survivng baileys, moats, ishigaki (stone-piled ramparts) and extant structures, prinicpally two gates. The largest gate, which also has dobei and a tamon-yagura (corridor turret) attached, is known as Akamon (Red Gate) due to its colour, and was constructed in 1808. The Ōtemon, a smaller gate ahead of the castle and the old bukeyashiki area of the castle town, is also red in colour, but apparently this colour scheme was adopted in modern times to match the original Akamon. A munemon formerly belonging to a bukeyashiki is also located nearby (it has not yet been painted red but did have to be extensively restored after damage by a typhoon one year). What sources are calling a tamon-yagura looked to me like it would've been used as a bansho (guardhouse) with a large projecting mushamado, since it no longer connects to any other structures apart from the yakuimon-style Akamon. The castle town is also a major feature of visiting this site. The streets around the castle are lined with traditional walls and gates and terraced with ishigaki. The surrounding environs include potentially a half-dozen or more bukeyashiki (samurai homes) but information about them is scarce. They are either the private homes of citizens, and in this capacity some of them have been heavily modified, or, regrettably, are now abandoned and falling into ruin. Since I couldn't believe that such structures would simply be allowed to rot, I wondered if these weren't maybe Meiji Period or later residences rebuilt on the sites of former bukeyashiki, and maybe that's true for the one's falling to pieces, but multiple sources online refer to the homes in general as being bukeyashiki.
