Matsue Castle in Matsue, Japan, is one of the few remaining original wooden castles in the country, dating back to the early Edo period. Completed in 1611, it is renowned for its distinctive black exterior, earning it the nickname "The Black Castle." The structure stands five stories tall and offers panoramic views of the surrounding city and Lake Shinji from its top floor. The castle is surrounded by a well-preserved moat and lush grounds that are particularly beautiful during cherry blossom season.
