－ Ticket Introduction －

The restored Kumamoto Castle Main Keep has been fully open since April 26,
2021!

The exhibitions within the park focus on the history of the Kumamoto Castle
'Main Keep.' Through models, videos, and more, you will gain a deep
understanding of the castle's history—from its construction and destruction
during the Seinan War to its 1960 reconstruction, the damage caused by the
2016 Kumamoto earthquake, and the subsequent restoration process. We invite
you to enjoy the brand-new exhibitions and the stunning views from the top
floor.

To help you better understand the exhibitions at the Kumamoto Castle Main
Keep, the official 'Kumamoto Castle Official App' (free to download) has been released. It
features videos with audio and subtitles, as well as detailed commentary, to
guide you through the charm of the Main Keep's permanent exhibitions.
Additionally, by activating the AR feature on the top floor of the Main Keep,
you can view and compare the scenery of the Meiji era with the present day. We
recommend downloading it before your visit.
