Matsue Castle 2

Matsue Castle is the second largest, the third tallest (30m) and the six oldest among the remaining castles in Japan.
The castle is looked five stories from outside, but it has six stories inside. The base floor has a well and food storage for preparing battle. And you can see 360-degree view of Matsue city from the top of the tower, so the soldiers could find enemies easily. But the truth is that the castle never faced any battles. The castle was built after major civil war in Japan.
