The turret

Kumamoto Castle is very famous, maybe the most famous castle in all of Kyushu, so I knew I needed to go see it. It actually is more of a park, where you can see a lot more than just the castle. Like this turret, which was once part of the inner wall protecting the castle. Although it was rebult only a few years ago, they have tried to keep it as origional as possible, and you can take off your shoes and go inside and climb up to the top. The hardwood floors are beautiful and you can learn about the construction of the roof there too. We climbed up to the top for a pretty view of the castle!
