Matsue Castle

By February 12, 2016 No Comments

Matsue Castle, Shimane Prefecture. Viewed from the outside, but actually the fifth floor in a sixth floor. Japan is one of 12 castles that can maintain and keep the same structure. Without ever creating a new thread.
Actually castle in Japan, mostly by fire, earthquake or bombing during World War II. Traditional wooden buildings not already left. And that is always a new creation. Concrete and modern technology make it look the same. The castle is a traditional wooden building and for several hundred years without a break and rebuilt it. In fact, only 12 locations. And here is the second-largest number in that. Himeji Castle is one of the world's heritage.

This is the busiest holiday of Shimane Prefecture, with Miyamoto's Shrine Izu. If you visit this province, it is a place not to miss.
