I have been there a couple of times and it remains my favourite castle. It is a must visit and the tea houses and ceremony guests may join are educative. Not far away is Reigando as well. John

Thanks for the sharing!

 

I visited Kumamoto a spring of 6 years ago, the castle during the matsuri with cherry blossoms ... a wonderful memories. I am sure that they will be able to complete this difficult restoration.
