Shimabara castle tower

Thu, July 19, 2018, by Muza-chan

Reconstructed 54 years ago after old documents, the Shimabara castle tower is one of the tallest castles in Japan, with 5 floors and a height of 32 meters (not including the stone walls).
This photo was taken from one of the several yagura turrets which were later rebuilt around it.
