This is the perfect tour to end my trip to Japan! It was so relaxed and my guide, Noriko, paced it well, often stopping to answer my questions about the history of the castle, Japan and to take in the sights of this wonderful place. I was lucky enough to see one tree in the castle in full blossom to kick off the cherry blossom season and to ride a boat in the inner moat.
