There’s also the audio guide. uh you can scan the QR code and then you’ll get this guide as well and also some of the guide in uh different languages. So let me uh take a look. So it talk about the history, the floor plan and then uh the layout of this uh garden. [Music] On the set inland sea, we see the birth of commercial cities such as Ichi and Kurashkichi. formed by the concentration of merchants at the mouth of the Ot River and along the Hiroshima coast. One of those was Gong. At the end of the Kamakura period at the beginning of the 14th century at the top of the mountain looking down over Gong, the protector Teda constructs Kanayyama Castle and uses it as a new base to control Aki from which he extends his power. However, once the waring states period begins, the area is sandwiched by the major powers of Ouchi in Yamaguchi and Amako. [Music] Oh, I saw this uh London one of the island. Castle. Although that’s another castle. [Music] Oh, this is a replica of that one. That’s quite cool. They made it really nice. This is the part of shooting inside the castle. So, they have a gun and then they shoot the enemy from the uh inside. a little bit cold when open. Then this is where they throw the stone in case of any uh enemy trying to climb up. This different technique is quite interesting. Uh I wonder how they removed this uh in a short period to flush away the enemy. [Music] Oh, it used to be a quite a beautiful castle and for now we are right over here. It is necessary. Oh, so this is the military uniform for the western warrior military. So they would use the gun like this. Here is the try on experience. You can take photo and video for free and uh just help yourself with those helmets. So that helmet is for kids and that helmet is for adult. So uh the you have to hold right at the middle to uh take the photo. So let me give you a try. Hole right there. Oh, it’s very heavy. And then uh you can take a picture like this. It is very heavy as well. So uh make sure you don’t give this a heavy helmet for the kids. Here is a Slovenia shops. Try drawing veg. There are quite a lot of cute item lovely to buy. This is a floor plan on the second floor. Uh that will be the samurai house. Then the tea houses, the festival thing. This castle make it like a museum now. So the samurai house, this uh samurai house is quite cool. And then now uh let’s check out this painting also a replica. It’s a folding screen for four season. So let’s check out this small piece. And uh let’s see how inside the samurai house. [Music] Quite tiny, quite short. I’m not sure the ratio is correct, but it looks a little bit tiny to me. And then this is a shops. So we’ll move on to the other side will be the uh room. [Music] [Music] So this square box is called Hako Zen. They use it for food to uh oh to serve the summer rice. That’s interesting. So they will sit on the floor and they enjoy the food and then they pick up the food and then put it on top of this uh square box. Very uh well designed. This is for the festival or the prayer area. Now uh let me take a look over here. Ah okay. So that just uh basically images and here is a transportations. It is super tiny. It’s not comfortable to sit inside for sure. This is a very cool photo before and after the atomic bomb just right and then uh did not know that actually it review it very well. They even have a roller coaster around this uh castle. Very interesting. Okay, let’s go to the third floor. M very important notice to share. I feel that there’s no toilet inside the castle. So I feel like a pee now. I have to I have to rush to uh view all the item. Then I’ll go to toilet. This is a hat. Wow. [Music] Ooh. Oh, this is a very cute hair. Now they are showcasing all the samurai swats. [Music] The swap is called tupa. So this one ah something from here. Super [Music] the instruction to try to carry the swap. You have to hold it two hands and then you’ll see how heavy this swap is. And uh very important that do not touch the blade. Okay. Sanitize your hand first and then hold with two hand. Oh, it’s actually not that heavy that I thought this SW is about like 1 kg and then uh the the way you hold is just like hold a golf club. Not too bad. Quite cool to have this experience. Oh wow. Okay, let’s go to the fourth floor. It’s basically about painting, which I don’t really appreciate usually. Oh, okay. I’ll make a quick walk around here. It has uh quite little English instruction uh description. So uh yeah, for me I can read a little bit of the kanji. So not too bad for me. Okay, let’s go up to uh I think the tower the balcony thing. Yeah, it should be the top floor. Now the fifth floor is called the observation platform. Nice and watch your head when you are coming out. That’s a lot of duck right over there. Okay, time to go down. Enough of the view over here. It’s nice to uh be on top of this observation platform. Okay, let’s go down now. If you like to buy the coin souvenir or the stand, uh that’s the place for you to spend. Took me about an hour uh to explore around the castle. I would say totally worth it. You can experience the with the helmet and also the samurai swad and uh catch a very nice view at this garden. Okay, time for lunch. Bye-bye.
