【English Translation】

Japan has so many castles. Have you visited any? Or are you planning to visit one in the future? There are so many that it can be hard to choose. Today, I’ll introduce three of my recommendations.

In the past, castles were important places where samurai and shoguns lived. They have tall main towers, large stone walls, and wide moats. They were built to protect the town. Today, they are popular sightseeing spots, and people can easily go and visit them.

First is Nagoya Castle, in my hometown of Nagoya. This one is a must-see. The golden shachihoko on the roof are very famous and look really impressive. The Honmaru Palace is also very beautiful. Near the castle, there is a place called Kinshachi Yokocho where you can enjoy Nagoya specialties like miso katsu and tebasaki. A castle visit plus great food makes a perfect combination.

Next is Gifu Castle, located in Gifu Prefecture. This castle is on top of a mountain. When you go up, you can see the town and the river below. The view is beautiful. Long ago, Oda Nobunaga used this castle, so it is a famous castle with a lot of history.

The third one is Shuri Castle in Okinawa. It is a red castle and has a very different atmosphere from other castles in Japan. There are dragon decorations on the roof, which look very impressive. In the past, a king lived there. There was a fire in 2019, but the castle is currently being rebuilt and is scheduled to be completed in 2026. Many people are looking forward to seeing the new Shuri Castle.

Each castle in Japan has a different color and history. When you go up to the top, you can enjoy great views of the town and surrounding area. It’s also a nice bit of exercise while exploring.
