  • Hikone Castle - Hikone-jo  was completed in 1622 after 20 years of construction using some materials from nearby Nagahama Castle which was torn down. Hikone Castle was finally finished by Ii Naokatsu.  The Ii family remained allies of the ruling Tokugawa throughout the Edo Period.  Hikone Castle is an ornate black and white fortress and was the base of the local Ii family daimyo feudal lord of the area. The top of the keep has wonderful views on a clear day over the surrounding countryside. Hikone-jo retains its original buildings, unlike many Japanese castles that have been rebuilt, and thus it is now shortlisted as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
