Hikone Castle Ruins (Special Historical Site)

This castle is one of the three most famous castles in Japan that was completed in 1622 and its castle tower is designated as a national treasure. This type of castle is called Hirayamajiro, which means a castle built on a mountain or hill in the middle of a plain.

Compared to other Japanese castles, getting to Shiga isn't that convenient, so there aren't as many tourists here.
