Aviso

Como resultado del terremoto de Abril del 2016, el castillo de Kumamoto sufrió graves daños. Si bien los terrenos interiores permanecen cerrados por renovaciones, la fortaleza se puede admirar desde el exterior a través de una ruta especial de 400 m los Domingos, días festivos nacionales y algunos Sábados. Se espera que la fortaleza interior vuelva a abrir en la primavera del 2021, aunque se espera que las renovaciones en todo el sitio demoren décadas.
