Reviewed By Safariholic - Horsham, United Kingdom
It is impressive from every stand-point - History, Scale, Architecture, Engineering, Design, Structural Integrity after so many years (incl Fires, Earthquakes etc etc), the Extent of Restorations, Cleanliness (typically Japanese), and fascinating, even for someone with as little Japanese History Knowledge, as me. TA advises 1 - 2 Hrs. I would regard that duration as 'skimming it'. It really is worth taking the time and having a thorough look round. It spans grounds over several hundred acres, huge buildings dating back several hundreds of years, even if subject to considerable restoration. These buildings included Barracks & Stables, fit to house Garrisons of men. Parts of it, were not that Disability Friendly, yet still worth covering what you can.
