Kanazawa Castle Ruins
Castle
👍👍 Even though the castle was destroyed long ago, this is still a great place to visit. The views from the rebuilt structures are amazing. The interior woodwork is impressive and there are some displays that explain in detail how the castle was originally constructed, which are also the same techniques...
