Kumamoto Castle – Outside looking in

     

Well, aren’t I just all over the place? My last four posts put me all over Kyushu & even onto Japan’s main island of Honshu. Suffice to say, I’m not posting things as they happen.

The following video of Kumamoto Castle has actually been sitting my computer since early February (2011), and you should be able to pick up on the fact that it is fricken’ cold! I put off posting it because I wasn’t sure if it had any value. I mean, I didn’t even enter the castle grounds proper, it’s just me walking around the outside.

Anyway, tell me what you think.

    Hehehe… definitely the quote of the clip was “If I were to guesstimate… I cannot guess…”. That sounds like the sort of day I had. Seriously, for a post that didn’t involve actually going into the castle, AND was completely impromptu, I think you did well. Despite the cold. Looks like a massive (replica) castle though, and those walls were fantastic. Thanks for sharing!

    Nice video.  Those are impressive walls.

    The vids do get a bit tekitō at times. Very much appreciate the kind words though.

    Thanks Dennis. Impressive they are. Some of Japan’s best, I think I can safely say.
