Komine Castle: The symbol of Shirakawa! With guides dressed in armor, it's full of historical romance!

#EnjoyJapan From Shirakawa Station, we headed to Komine Castle. I was amazed by the power of the restored three-story turret and stone walls, but what impressed me most was the guide! He is a descendant of the Honda family, and appeared dressed in armor! His stories were interesting, and history felt much closer to me. We strolled around the moat and looked down on the town from the observation deck. It was so fulfilling that I couldn't believe it was free! ⸻ Basic Info Komine Castle Shirakawa City, Fukushima Prefecture Opening hours: 9:30-17:00 (last admission 16:30) Closed: Mondays (next day if Monday is a public holiday) Admission: Free ⸻ [Komine Castle] Historical atmosphere with a real descendant of the Honda clan in armor!
