What kind of place is Hirado Castle, where the lord who loved sweets lived? Renewed and updated as an entertainment space When we think of castle tours, we think of the castle keep, steep stairs, and hot or cold temperatures, just as they were in those days, but Hirado Castle is a little different. The concept of the museum is to provide visitors with a fun way to experience and learn about history (amusement x museum), leading them to think, “Before I knew it, I knew about the Matsuura Clan and the Hirado Castle! The museum will lead you to “Before I knew it, I knew about the Matsuura Clan and the castle of Hirado! The exhibits are full of passionate historical facts, such as “After the castle was built, they burned it down immediately” and “It took 100 years to rebuild the castle.” Visitors can understand that the castle and its name were left to the present day because they were flexible enough to deal with the shogunate, even though they were tossed around by history. In particular, the “Ishigaki Puzzle” is a stone wall puzzle of the castle’s existing Ote-mon Gate. It is so difficult to solve that you may end up going to see the real thing. Many people are said to be addicted to it.
Staying overnight at the castle is a great way to feel like a castle lord, and costs about 600,000 yen per night. Another of Hirado Castle’s highlights is the possibility of “staying overnight at the castle. The “Kaisyu Yagura” is where guests can stay. Upon entering the yagura, one’s eyes are greeted by beautiful butterflies painted by the artist Takahide Komatsu, a native of Kyushu. The interior design is inspired by the Rimpa school, reflecting the aesthetic sensibility of the Momoyama to Edo periods. The bedrooms are filled with seasonal motifs such as cherry blossoms and autumn leaves, allowing you to experience the four seasons without leaving the room. With views of the island and the sea from the windows, you will feel as if you were the master of the castle.
