Kyushu, Japan｜Learn about history through travel

Shimabara Castle is one of the top 100 famous castles in Japan. Speaking of this, we have to flip through the history books. Shimabara Castle was built in the Edo period and it took 7 years to build. The scale of the city was considered very large at the time, but for a rural area, it was a very luxurious thing. Because Shimabara is located in a volcanic belt, the land is mostly composed of volcanic ash and lava flows, and building here is a very difficult thing. Under long-term labor and heavy taxes, the local people suffered terribly. Coupled with religious and economic reasons, the largest people's uprising in Japanese history eventually broke out, known as the "Amakusa Rebellion." #JapanMust-visit check-in spots #JapanAttractions #JapanTravel
