A very quaint castle. It has a fabulous garden in the back, with a pond, containing carp (if I remember correctly). At the top of the tenshu, there are many lotus-petal shaped windows, giving it an unusual appearance. The only other remaining castle that I know of that has this many of this style of windows is Inuyama-Jo.
