Katsuren Castle Ruins

Extraordinary place. Not only do you get to explore the ruins which have magnificent views, there is a museum with interactive consoles, a short movie that explains the history and many displays. Highly recommend!

Definitely upgraded since the last 4 years. There is a musuem and 2 gift shops on premises. There is a fee to go to castle. Less than 500¥ an adult. Musuem: awesome history of the castle with fantastic models. Signs in Japanese and English in the mail part. Love the 3d town. Really impressed with the new musuem. You can get a free shuttle [think large gold cart] ride to the base of the castle. [The dirt parking lot at the base of the castle is no longer available]. Castle has 3 layers to see and offers amazing views. Signs in Japanese and English.

Beautiful castle ruins, and amazing views overlooking the ocean and city. The museum show was great addition after visiting the castle. Great way to spend a couple of hours.

Inexpensive ticket for entry and plenty of parking. The museum at the beginning is very cool and contains loads of interactive information. The walk up to the ruins is beautiful and seeing everything up close was amazing. The view at the top is gorgeous, if you're in the area I highly recommend stopping by.

Love 360 panoramic views. Admission fee included round trip car rides to the uphill entrance of the Ruin. The ruin was serene and beautiful until the large group of primary school field trip was there😅.
