Kumamoto Castle, one of Japan's three most famous castles, is a grand fortress that embodies the strategies and philosophies of samurai warriors from 400 years ago. For locals, it's more than a historical landmark; it's a symbol of their identity and pride.

Join us on a guided tour led by an expert in Japanese history and culture. You'll delve deep into the castle's most notable features, hearing fascinating samurai stories and discovering key architectural details. Ascend to the observation floor for panoramic views from the equivalent of 14 stories.

While most exhibits inside the castle keep are primarily in Japanese, our guide's in-depth knowledge and engaging commentary will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of Kumamoto Castle's history.
