2. Japan’s Three Famous Castles

※ I personally visited Osaka Castle and Nagoya Castle, and the scale and atmosphere were truly impressive!

Castle travel is more than just sightseeing; it’s a precious opportunity to fully experience Japan’s tradition and aesthetics. Be sure to add Himeji Castle and Matsumoto Castle to your list for your next trip!
