Sneak into the castle at night

Shimabara Castle at night
Grab a flashlight and go to the Castle Tower.
Another world of light and sound
Silhouettes of armor, Japanese light
Fantastic shadow plays in the night sky
An unforgettable night is here…

A new spot for Shimabara weekends!
Visit Shimabara Castle Tower at night, which is usually closed to visitors.
The dimly lit building has a different atmosphere from that of the daytime, and you will use a flashlight to illuminate your way through.
Each floor has a different theme color and original background music.
On the top floor, visitors can enjoy the fantastic shadow puppets “Castle Monster” floating in the night sky and the night view of Shimabara.
