Not so big and gorgeous but dignified appearance. I could look out over scenery from the top of the castle. Inside is well organized museum, there was a projection mapping which shows history and area of the town at that time but I could not finish watching everything because of slow-paced story. Entrance fee ¥300 Combination ticket Castle & Drama museum ¥890

It's a old castle belong to the 15th century era. The surrounding atmosphere is nice. We had to wait in a long line to enter the castle because we visit here during the golden week. Ticket price for adults is 300 and for children it's 150.

Interesting piece of history. The castle is surrounded by a park. Inside the castle they have different floors explaining the history behind the castle and the Okazaki area. One call out is that it isn’t too English friendly but still worth a look.

04/02/22 the cherry blossoms are blooming during this time ❤️ it was difficult to park here. The castle is beautiful even at night because there is a blue light. There were also a lot of spots to take a picture! A lot of stalls offer delicious food. However, there are no trash can. When we went there, it was so crowded and so are the toilets. There is also a beautiful bridge along the river. There is a stair beside the river wherein you can seat with your friends and enjoy the view.
