Must-see spots: Japan’s ONLY Castle with a Black Armored Wall | Hidden Japan Trip
Have you ever seen a black Japanese castle? Most castles in Japan are white, but Fukuyama Castle is different. One whole side is black. It’s covered with iron plates. This design was for defense against cannons, black walls, plus green garden. Stunning contrast. Fukuyama Castle. Not just beautiful, unexpected.
