gdb Posted May 24, 2012 Share #10204 Posted May 24, 2012 Himei-Ji Jo, Japan Gérard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noriko_miyazaki Posted May 24, 2012 Share #10205 Posted May 24, 2012 An excellent start, Gérard-san. But we are not on Honshu. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdb Posted May 24, 2012 Share #10206 Posted May 24, 2012 Deep in my heart I knew I could be wrong, Noriko, because Himei-Ji was too easy a guess... But it certainly is the castle that looks the most like Himei-Ji Gérard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noriko_miyazaki Posted May 24, 2012 Share #10207 Posted May 24, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) The bad news is that many castles somewhat look like Himeiji-jo. But the good news is that there are only a few dozen of similar castles, and excluding Honshu makes the possibilities quite limited. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearoido Posted May 24, 2012 Share #10208 Posted May 24, 2012 Would the location be Chuo-ku, Kumamoto? The castle being Kumamoto Castle. GaryO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noriko_miyazaki Posted May 24, 2012 Share #10209 Posted May 24, 2012 We're not on Kyushu, so it is not Kumamoto-jo. A hint: whereas most castles are located in cities, this one is not.

martinop Posted May 25, 2012 Share #10210 Posted May 25, 2012 My WAG is: Matsumae Castle - Hokkaido Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noriko_miyazaki Posted May 25, 2012 Share #10211 Posted May 25, 2012 We're not on Hokkaido, sorry. There is only one main island left now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adji.AP Posted May 25, 2012 Share #10212 Posted May 25, 2012 According to Google, there are four castles at Shikoku island: Marugame, Kochi, Matsuyama, and Uwajima and I don't have a clue for a wild guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertekijker Posted May 25, 2012 Share #10213 Posted May 25, 2012 According to Google, there are four castles at Shikoku island: Marugame, Kochi, Matsuyama, and Uwajima and I don't have a clue for a wild guess Looks most like the Kochi castle to me - with the cherry blossoms and all that. Thank you Adji! ------------- Frans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinop Posted May 25, 2012 Share #10214 Posted May 25, 2012 Uwajima Castle? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noriko_miyazaki Posted May 25, 2012 Share #10215 Posted May 25, 2012 We're on the correct island now, Shikoku, but it is none of the castles mentioned. The castle situated in the place we're looking for was re-constructed fairly recently. Wikipedia has an entry about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeicaBraz Posted May 26, 2012 Share #10216 Posted May 26, 2012 Takamatsu Castle. In case this is right, will cede the turn to Adji.AP who paved the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noriko_miyazaki Posted May 26, 2012 Share #10217 Posted May 26, 2012 Very generous of you, but it's not Takamatsu. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

noriko_miyazaki Posted May 26, 2012 Share #10219 Posted May 26, 2012 You have arrived, well done, it is Ōzu Castle (大洲城, Ōzu-jō), also known as Jizōgatake Castle (地蔵ヶ嶽城, Jizōgatake-jō). Your turn, please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeicaBraz Posted May 26, 2012 Share #10220 Posted May 26, 2012 Thanks vmuch. As said before, will cede my turn to Adji.AP as he paved the way with the island (although it has more than four castles). Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
