"My fascination with Japanese Castles started after my first visit in Himeji many years ago.
The impressive structure, the craftmanship to create the huge stone walls, moats, castle keep was really amazing for me to see. Another Japanese castle highlight was Osaka Castle. I went there already 3times in the last 6 years:) Did you know that only twelve remaining original castles exisit in Japan? The rest of them are concret replicas.
Here is the complete original list and maybe a good start point for your future castle tour:
Bitchu Matsuyama Castle, Inuyama Castle, Hikone Castle, Himeji Castle, Hirosaki Castle, Iyo Matsuyama Castle, Kochi Castle, Marugame Castle, Maruoka Castle, Matsue Castle, Matsumoto Castle and Uwajima Castle."
