HIKONE CASTLE

HIKONE CASTLE 



PERSONAL THOUGHTS
★★★★☆
Prepare yourself for a quite a walk uphill to reach the castle! This may be a bigger challenge than it initially seems.
Aside from that I quite enjoyed visiting this castle. It's not just the castle, a lot of side buildings and gates are open to visitors. Downhill you can also find a museum with various pieces of art and a short walk away is a pretty garden. The line to enter the castle can be a bit long (especially when you visit in weekends or National holidays), so be prepared. I do think it won't be as bad on normal weekdays. The inside of the castle isn't too impressive, but the view you get from the many windows can be quite spectacular.
