Kumamoto Castle (熊本城; -jō) is a castle in Kumamoto, Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan, that has been opened to the public for tours.
But not for me! I came just one day too early to Kumamoto on the 30-12-09 to visit the enormous castle complex. They close the castle to prepare the New Year celebration, which takes place for three days in and around complex.

The castle was besieged during the Satsuma Rebellion, and the Castle Tower and other parts were burned before the siege. Most parts of the complex had been reconstructed in the traditional style in the 60’s.
