During the ascent to Hikone Castle, the main keep comes into view after walking past a grand fortification wall. Hikone Castle is an original castle, which means that it survived the post-feudal era without experiencing any destruction or reconstruction. It is also one of only four castles in Japan designated as a “National Treasure”.
