I love history, and have always loved castles, forts and walled cities. In fact, I lived in the old walled city in Chiang Mai Thailand for 2 years when I was younger. I've visited castles elsewhere in the world, but I ended up living in Japan, so I've focused my attention on Japanese castles. I also love temples, but having been to hundreds, I find that it's harder for me to get tired of castles.
My top 10 Japanese castles are probably Himeji, Hikone, Iyo-Matsuyama, Matsumoto, Nijo, Kumamoto, Kochi, Osaka, Matsue, and Kanazawa. I also have a soft spot for castles like Ozu or Kakegawa. As for castles abroad, Bodrum Castle in Turkey and Rhodes Castle in Greece are great.
For castles, probably Kansai because I live there and have been to more castles there than anywhere else. But Chubu, Chukoku, and Shigoku are all great for castles.
