[The view from the castle tower is refreshing🏯] Shimabara Castle Observation Deck

#Spring0yentrip

"▶Overview
Shimabara Castle, with its five-story castle tower, has a sense of grandeur that makes it hard to believe it was rebuilt. The observation deck on the top floor is a spectacular spot with a panoramic view of the cityscape, Ariake Sea, and Mount Unzen. Even if you're not a history buff, you can enjoy it!

▶Comments
The castle town overlooked from the castle tower is beautiful, and it feels like you've traveled back in time to the Edo period. The exhibits inside the castle are also well-organized, and are structured so that you can learn about the history of Shimabara's Christians and uprisings.

▶Access/Tips
・10 minutes walk from Shimabara Station/Excellent access in the center of the city
・Admission fee: 550 yen for adults/Depending on the time of day, it feels like you're visiting exclusively
・Recommended for cherry blossom season and light-up events🌸
