Architectural Remnants and Moats (★★★★☆)
Beyond the ruins of the castle keep, the gardens preserve several fascinating architectural features. You can explore the meticulously restored guardhouses, such as the Hyakunin-bansho (Guardhouse of 100 Men), and walk along the imposing fortress walls. The expansive moats, still filled with water, provide a powerful visual representation of the castle's immense defensive scale. These remnants provide an essential physical link to the Edo period.
