The black-walled keep beside Korakuen, a museum inside. 09:00–17:30, last entry 17:00; closed 29–31 December. Adult ¥500; the joint ticket with Korakuen is ¥800. Indoors, so it also works in the rain.
- Closed 29–31 December. Check the day before you plan around it.
- 4 hr 30 min door to door needs a 6.5-hour call: a 2–3 hour stop cannot hold it. Pick something closer instead.
