I had a look at the website. What a treat for castle fans. I’ll share it with my friends who have school age Japanese-speaking kids.

I'd love to go myself, but we're choosing to stay in Saitama for the moment. I'd love to be able to peruse the information and choose which castles to see post-Covid (if there is such a thing!).

This is such a fun event idea, and there are lots of them to celebrate!

I definitely keep seeing more and more 'normalcy' in terms of events popping up, but I will say that a lot of places seem to be putting mitigation measures in place, like limiting admissions, requiring masks before people enter, and having hand sanitizer everywhere. It's encouraging in that sense!
