Hirado-jo Castle sits in the city of Hirado of Nagaski prefecture. Originally, the castle was nearing completion in 1613, but burned down and was remade in 1704. The Hirado Domain’s daimyo (feudal lord), the Matsura Clan, ruled the castle until the late 1800s. From the castle keep is a dazzling view of the sea.
