On July 1st the castle was lit up in Yellow, although it looks orange on the white stone. This special illumination marks the start of Japan’s annual “Movement to Brighten Society” campaign by the Ministry of Justice. Running for over 70 years, this nationwide initiative brings communities together to prevent crime, support delinquency rehabilitation, and create a supportive environment where people can get a second chance at life. 💛 👻

On May 31st this year, the castle swapped its traditional look for green—the universal symbol color for secondhand smoke prevention. The illumination was part of a nationwide effort to raise awareness about health, protect communities from passive smoking, and support tobacco-free spaces. 👻

Due to a few last minute cancellations, this tour ended up with just one person. It was a really great night, and I was truly inspired by this guest, who just happens to be studying and learning to perform Noh Theatre here in Japan. Thank you for joining 👻

A wonderful couple from Malta joined me for an evening tour, it was such a fun and interesting night. As well as being my first ever guests from Malta 🇲🇹 It may have been the most questions I've been asked on a single tour, but I love being able to share extra details with guests. Thank You for joining 👻
