First built in 1583 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the second “Great Unifier of Japan”, this five-storey castle (which has since been rebuilt a number of times) is one of the most visually striking landmarks in Japan’s third largest city. 🏯 While the castle itself is beautiful, the surrounding parks are also worth exploring – especially during the changing seasons in spring and autumn. Visitors can also take a short boat ride around the surrounding moat! 🚣 📷 Amazing capture by @vanaken. #VisitJapanAU #Cities
