Matsue Castle (Matsuejo)	# 1   of 5 most visited sights in Matsue
access  -  admission  -  ratings

Matsue Castle (Matsuejo) is one of only about a dozen original castles in Japan, meaning that its castle tower has survived the wars, fires, earthquakes and anti-feudal activities of the post-feudal era (since 1868). Matsuejo was completed in 1611 by the local lord Horio Yoshiharu. In 1638, the fief and castle were reassigned to a branch of the Matsudaira clan, relatives of the Tokugawa. The castle tower underwent major renovation works in the 1950s. Any Questions? Ask them in our question forum.

Matsue Castle can be reached in a 30 minute walk from JR Matsue Station or in a 15 minute walk from Ichibata Dentetsu's Matsue-Shinjiko-Onsen Station. The castle is also connected with both train stations by the "Lake Line" loop bus. How to get to and around Matsue
