Since then, Kumamoto Castle has set the stage for the stories of a variety of significant heros spanning 400 years of Japan's history. The Hosokawa clan, swordmaster Miyamoto Musashi, and Imperial Army commander Tani Tateki are just some of the heroes who have carved their names on the tablet of the castle's dramatic history. So sit back and relax as we take you back to Kumamoto Castle as it was, up until today, on a journey spanning 400 years.
