Information is presented through models and videos in a clear and easy-to-understand way To enhance your visit, Kumamoto Castle offers a free mobile application called "Kumamoto Castle Official App." This app provides audio and subtitles for the explanatory texts and video content of the castle's permanent exhibition.
