About This Video

Yamaguchi Iwakuni Castle - 岩国城 - 4K Ultra HD : Believe it or not but this castle was actually destroyed 7 years after its completion in 1608! Indeed it was on an order from the Tokugawa Shogunate that enforced a ‘one-castle-per- province’ law (一国一城) that meant Iwakuni Castle had to be destroyed. It was only in 1962 that the actual castle was rebuilt and serves today as a small museum and tourist attraction.
