Originally built in 1618, this large, attractive castle is actually south of Nagasaki City in Shimabara. Like most castles in Japan, it has been meticulously restored so that the interior resembles a museum, with artifacts and documents on display. Of the "castles-turned-museums" in Japan, though, this one has been executed quite nicely. Touring and studying the exterior can also occupy plenty time, and certainly will provide ample photo opportunities.
