Three towers seen at the same time in Kumamoto Castle grounds

 Taken near the largest parking lot 

No utility poles and wires! This must be how it originally looked when built at the beginning of the 17th century by KATO Kiyomasa, a feudal lord noted for his excellent castle building technique. Two of the towers are reconstructions in the 20th century but one is from the  castle's inception. Thanks to the inauguration of Kyushu Shinkansen services, Kumamoto is easy to go to. Try the castle and perhaps Mt. ASO as well and you will feel the grandeur of Kyushu.
