There's striking resemblance between the Kumamoto Castle and the Oaska Castle... from far, except the fact that the latter has golden linings around its edge as well as the symbolic 'goldfish' at the highest level. Though not as huge, it looked cool :)Similar to the Osaka castle, it was converted into a museum where the guide brought us through the changes over time (from the shogun to the royal ruling, etc). On the other hand, Kumamoto Castle also came with another building where we visited the 'rooms' where the shogun met his subjects, the various 'layers'. Amaizing! It's represented by the number of rooms that one could go through (to get close to the leader), as well as the number of 'steps' he could move up (from the entrance). That's similar to what we saw in Nijo Castle in Kyoto.
