  Since that time, Kumamoto Castle has served as the backdrop for numerous notable heroes whose exploits span 400 years of Japanese history. Swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, Tani Tateki, and the Hosokawa family are just a few of the heroes whose names are inscribed on the tablet of the castle's eventful past. So settle back and unwind as we take you on a 400-year journey to Kumamoto Castle as it was before today.
