Japanese Castle Series Part 1: Kumamoto Castle We are launching a new series on castles in Japan. Here is Kumamoto Castle, famous for its distinctive features including the black and white donjons (main towers) and the curved stone walls. It was built at the beginning of the 17th century. The buildings were damaged by frequent fires, but 13 of them, such as the turrets, retain their original form and have been designated Important Cultural Properties. jnto.go.jp/eng/location/spot/castles/kumamoto.html kumanago.jp/en/ #JapanGov #Japan #Kumamoto
