Local Legends & Stories
Kumamoto Castle is famously known as the Ginkgo Castle because its founder, Kato Kiyomasa, planted ginkgo trees on the grounds as an emergency food source in case the castle was ever besieged.

Hidden Gems
-
Seek out the Kato Shrine located within the castle grounds, a serene spot dedicated to the castle's founder that most large tour groups bypass.
-
Look closely at the castle's famous warrior returns stone walls, which feature uniquely sloped bases designed to make climbing impossible for invaders.

Available Facilities
Perfect Timing
When to visit for the best experience
The best time to visit Kumamoto Castle is during the spring cherry blossom season from late March to early April, or in autumn when the ginkgo trees turn a brilliant gold. Mornings are generally less crowded, making this early departure tour ideal for beating the midday tourist rush and capturing the best lighting for photographs.
Photography Guide
Capture the perfect shots
-
Head to the Ninomaru Park observation area for the classic, unobstructed wide-angle shot of the main keep reflecting in the moat.
-
Capture the intricate details of the restored wooden interiors and traditional tatami rooms inside the keep, but remember to turn off your flash.
-
Visit during the golden hour just before sunset if you extend your stay, as the warm light beautifully highlights the striking black exterior of the castle walls.
Cultural Etiquette
Respect local customs and traditions
When entering the traditional wooden structures and tatami rooms inside the castle keep, you will be required to remove your shoes, so wearing easily slip-on footwear is highly recommended. Please maintain a quiet and respectful demeanour, especially when visiting the Kato Shrine or observing the meticulous restoration work being done on the historic grounds.
Special Events & Experiences
Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights
-
The Kumamoto Castle Spring Festival in April features spectacular night-time illuminations of the cherry blossoms and traditional stage performances.
-
The Ginkgo Festival in late November celebrates the castle's namesake trees with local food stalls, craft markets, and cultural demonstrations.
-
During the summer Obon season, the castle grounds often host traditional Bon Odori dances and evening lantern light-ups.
Important Guidelines & Safety
Essential safety information and guidelines
-
Watch your step on the steep wooden staircases inside the main keep, as they can be quite narrow and slippery, especially on rainy days.
-
Stay on marked pathways around the castle grounds, as some outer walls and peripheral areas may still be undergoing seismic reinforcement and restoration.
-
Keep hydrated and use sun protection during the summer months, as the expansive stone plazas around the castle can reflect intense heat.
