Very friendly staff. Interesting experience, but a lot less there than I thought. Looks like interesting history, but but there was minimal English translation, and I would have been very interested in knowing more of the historical background. Translation of the written Japanese commentary on each item on a separate pamphlet would have been good.

Exterior & grounds tour was good. Moated castle. Combined with extraordinary garden grounds across moat not to be missed

It's a beautiful black castle. Although it is rebuilded, it is still a important historical structure. Inside the castle, there are introduce of history, DIY of Bizenyaki, and COSPLAY the Kimono of japanese princess (the attendant in castle is very nice and patient to help you wearing the Kimono). This castle is not huge nor vast, but both interesting and educational.

Went with 12 Australian students. It was quiet which allowed students to be dressed as lords and ladies of the castle. The staff were very helpful and the garden next door was serene and scenic

The outside of the castle is free and is nice to take a look at. The inside requires a ticket and is pretty boring. Not worth the trouble if you are only planning to see the castle

Free to walk around the castle grounds, often there are people willing to give you free tours so they can practice their English!

Beautiful castle from the outside and probably interesting on the inside if not for the utter lack of English.
My suggestion, look from the outside (free) and don't bother going in.response / report this review -

The castle itself is impressive from outside, but inside is just a museum for armor and katana. All the complex is a replica built in the nineteenth, except for one of the tower that it's still the original one. Worth a visit for the panorama on the city and the the Korakuen Park
