🏯A magnificent view of a castle floating on the sea! Enjoy the collaboration of history and nature at Hirado Castle🌊

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip Hirado Castle, located in Hirado City, Nagasaki Prefecture, is a beautiful castle surrounded by the sea, built in 1599 by Matsuura Chinshin 🏯 The natural moat surrounded by the sea on three sides and the spectacular view from the mock castle tower are its attractions! Historical materials, weapons, and cultural assets of the Hirado domain are on display inside the castle, making it a must-see spot for history lovers 📜 I visited on a sunny day and was impressed by the spectacular view that stretches from the castle tower to Iki Island ✨ The trick to conquering it is to "visit in the morning and stroll around the castle town together" + "wear sneakers to walk comfortably on the stone steps" 👟 There are several turrets and gates on the premises, and many photogenic spots 📸 Access is about 40 minutes by car from the Nishi Kyushu Expressway "Sasa IC" 🚗 If you are using public transportation, it is about an 8-minute walk from the "Yukokan" bus stop on the Saihi Bus. Parking is free to use 🅿️ Whether you are traveling as a couple or alone, Hirado Castle is a place where history and nature blend together. Feel the sea breeze and enjoy the charm of the castle and castle town 🌿 Overseas travel #Couple trip #Solo trip #Hirado Castle #Nagasaki trip #Japan's 100 famous castles #Castle town stroll #Stunning sea view #History romance
