KumamotoFacilities

Kumamoto Castle is one of Japan’s top cherry blossom viewing spots. Every spring, the castle grounds are blanketed in pink sakura, attracting visitors for hanami (cherry blossom viewing). Kumamoto Castle remains a cultural treasure, offering visitors a deep dive into Japan’s feudal past and an inspiring story of recovery. Despite severe damage from the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake, ongoing restoration has made parts of the main keep open, symbolizing resilience and community spirit. The restoration of Kumamoto Castle's entire tower has been completed, and starting from April 26, 2021, visitors can enjoy the fully renewed exhibits and the stunning view from the top floor. The updated exhibits primarily focus on the history of the castle tower, covering its construction, destruction during the Satsuma Rebellion, reconstruction in 1960, and the damage and recovery from the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake. Information is presented through models and videos in a clear and easy-to-understand way. To enhance your visit, Kumamoto Castle offers a free mobile application called ""Kumamoto Castle Official App."" This app provides audio and subtitles for the explanatory texts and video content of the castle's permanent exhibition. Additionally, on the top floor of the tower, the AR function allows you to enjoy a panoramic view overlaid with old photographs from the Meiji era. We highly recommend downloading the app before your visit.
