Free English tours at the East Gate at 1pm! Our guide was a lovely Japanese grandma who told us more about Japanese castles and palaces than we'd learned during the whole 3-week trip around Japan. <3
The restored palace is nice, but be sure to go see the exhibit in the castle tower to see it with some furniture. It's kind of strange missing that context.
Lucky to have visited the castle during sakura season. The grounds & surroundings were a dreamy shade of pink. Lots of people, locals & tourists, out & about enjoying the blooms
