A castle in Kumamoto

Kumamoto Travel Blog › entry 6 of 13 › view trip summary

Of all the countries that I have visited, Japan is next to China the most elusive and overwhelming one by far. Because of its beauty and crazy contrasts, but most of all because of its people. Although due to a failing camera I can’t show you crystal clear Mount Fuji that I was very lucky to see on a rather rare occasion, I hope these pics give you an impression of the wonderful month I had back in 2006 and inspire you to pay a visit to this stunning country.

A castle in Kumamoto

April 13, 2006
Besides temples you'll see so now and then other kinds of historical buildings. This castle built in 1607 belonged to many different conquerors, but became famous for its role during the final war between the Satsuma samurai and the govenmental army back in 1877.
