Creator's Key Takeaways

This is one of Japan's few originals. No reconstructions on this castle.

The view from the castle was awesome.

It's all pickles, knives, and grandma proof snacks.

This beach isn't just scenic. It's actually historic.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Take the ship's shuttle to town if the port is far from attractions.
✓Be prepared for physically intense excursions with many steps.
✓Visit the museum first to learn about the castle's history before going.
