Hirado, Nagasaki / 平戸城
Hirado Castle
A castle built in the Yamaga style, unusual among castle-building methods. In April 2021 its outer and inner walls were repaired and its exhibits completely renewed: digital images introduce Hirado's history and people on the 2nd floor, the lords and the castle's building on the 3rd, a hands-on room with digital art on the 4th, and a lookout over the Hirado Strait on the 5th.
