To feel the power of Japanese
I was proud to see the majestic castle. From the top of the castle, the entire city could be scanned, with the feeling that it was ready to protect the citizens of the town from enemies. It seems nice that the man wearing a ninja costume for tourists is so excited about my kids that they are still talking. The fantastic and unforgettable day spent with the guide.

Architectural view of Castle
I am a structural engineering student in Japan, so the Matsue castle is a very interesting site for me. Castle is 400 years old and the main structural elements are old wooden columns, beams, and pillars. Connection type is an old method but it was amazing I wonder how they did it in ancient times. Castle was repaired from abandoned places by heartful people. From the top of the castle, I saw Daisen Mountain which is the second-largest volcanic mountain of Japan. Matsue is a calm, clean and small city. I never forget this experience of the visit.
