Edo Castle was the largest castle in Japan. Today, only parts of it remain, but you can still find traces of the castle throughout Tokyo. A local guide will explain just how massive Edo Castle was and how its defenses made it nearly impenetrable. This castle played a key role in maintaining the peaceful samurai era that lasted for 260 years.
