    Tokyo Hachioujishi Motohachioujimachi 3-2715-2 (Administrative Building)
    A nationally designated Historic Site in Motohachioji-machi, Hachioji City, Tokyo. Hachioji castle was built at the end of the Warring States period by Hojo Ujiteru. Japan's last large-scale mountain castle, it fell during Toyotomi Hideyoshi's campaign to gain complete control of the Kanto region. 400 years after its downfall, in 1990 the results of archeological surveys were used to recreate the castle's stone walls and paving and the site was opened to visitors. Due to its value as the ruins of a Warring States period mountain castle, Hachioji Castle has also been selected as one of Japan's 100 greatest castles by the Japan Castle Foundation.

The setting of countless iconic movie scenes and the inspiration for songs, poetry, and literature worldwide, Tokyo barely requires an introduction. It’s hard for the kaleidoscopic neon lights, wacky pop culture, and some of the world’s tallest structures not to instill excitement in any first-time visitor to Tokyo, whether you’re in the very center of the hustle and bustle in Shinjuku or Shibuya or looking in from the quieter suburbs.
