- Welcome to Oka's new update center -
Today, we will visit Shumei Castle, a small castle but with a particular history.
The county of Shumei in Oka was founded as the principality of Shumei by Price Oestu in the Province of Naoiwa in 428 during the Ran period. The original castle was full of traps and was called the 'magical castle of Shumei' fr this reason. The principality lasted as a breakaway territory until 750

Nowadays, most buildings have been destroyed by natural disaster and wars with Japan. It is a powerful mix of old and new buildings of different styles that coexist together, with the new buildings being built on the grid of the old ones


The white buildings are the older buildings for the Ka Period where architectural styles where imported from China, the darker ones are from 1800's onwards.
On each corner we find massive watch towers, the perimeter of the castle has a ring of Cherry trees


The State of Naiowa, and the Okataian Federation have invested a lot into the conservation of the castle, and have installed a new lighting system

Cheers!
