  If I weren't passing through Chiba City on my way back to Tokyo from Sakura Castle, I would not have bothered with this castle site. It is quite disappointing. Having sussed out what others have said, I was mentally prepared for a fake concrete reconstruction where that was no such castle keep in its day. However, they could have had a much better museum inside this fairly big reconstructed castle keep. There was hardly anything in the castle museum about its design and history. No wonder it cost only 60 yen to get in. This is barely a one-star castle site for me.

  Not worth visiting. As said the reconstruction is unfaithful and the look of the thing...it just looks wrong and aritificial. This big tower plonked in the middle of a drab urban residential area. The grounds surrounding it are tiny and pretty standard fair of a few trees and open spaces. Inside the castle looks to be offices or somesuch before the doors remained closed to me. One humerous thing about this castle is they've built a modern viewing platform in front of it, in a position that should be rather good for viewing it....though they've planted a bunch of trees between said platform and the castle. Your tax money at work people of Chiba!

  Downtown Chiba, collocated with Ward office and theater. An interesting urban setting with many older buildings surrounding.
