This is not a big castle like the one in Kumamoto. Yet it is also beautiful and sit at the heart of the city. I suggest to take a look when you may also enjoy the neighborhood there. If you are interested the history, you can buy a ticket and go up to the castle. It is only ¥300/person.

Very scenic from the outside. The first couple of floors inside did a good job explaining the history of the castle and its rulers but otherwise was rather bland. Still worth a visit if you are in the area.

The castle was rebuilt in the 50s of the original design, so it's relatively "modern" inside (similar to Osaka). Nonetheless, the displays and interactions are informative and fun. It is also inside a nice park, so you should spend some time there too.

We had no expectations, didn't even plan to visit, but it was after 7pm, we were waking by, and it was open! We had so much fun inside! It's the cheapest castle that we went to (like $3cad) and most interactive. We spent an hour there (closing at 8pm) and it flew by. In my personal list of castles, it is now in 3rd place (after Himeji - authentic - and Osaka - impressive - castles).
