Actually its Chinese Architecture , have some little differences but its more chinese , this happened during the Yamato period when Japanese Govt adapted so many things from China , written language(kanji) , music,government ,architecture and many more.
@asahe1980 it's not Chinese architecture it's uniquely Japan, China has no castle like that it is the roof your Model your talking, More similar to Pagoda roof deck of India.
Hey, next time tell me more about how it's ACTUALLY BUILT, please. I want to know about the architecture, the engineering, the carpentry, and the masonry. Not just a history lesson.
Three things to consider: 1) is that the true meaning of a ‘castle’ is often misconstrued, so people end up having higher expectations for a ‘castle’ then what is actually is in essence. The image that many today have of a stereotypical European castle (think of the Disney castle for example) is not strictly a ‘castle’. Think of just about any famous European castle and you will find that it contains embellishments and extensions built during later periods of greater wealth, which can be seen as more palace-like rather than castle-like. Think of the château, which originally meant castle in French yet is now associated with a grand, country homely estate. In Japan, on the other hand, palaces and castles (architecture-wise) are strictly separate forms. Remember that a castle is primarily a defensive structure, not a grand living estate. If you want a fair comparison to make between European castles and Japanese, then search ‘Norman castles’ and look at images. As the Normans invaded England they built these across the country to maintain control over the land. This is somewhat similar to the Japanese situation in the feudal period, in which different warlords were competing to maintain their control over their respective regions across Japan. 2). Building materials. In Europe, huge, towering castle walls and towers are tend built of stone, serving as a strong defensive feature. In Japan, the level of earthquakes and seismic activity means that to construct buildings out of stone is impossible. Japanese castles only use stone for the base (look at 6:11 - these stone slopes not only surround the moat and also form as impenetrable walls on land inside the moat, forming mazes through which attackers must navigate) and the castle’s buildings are built of earth and wood on the top of the stone, giving it a high and advantageous position 3) Remember a castle is not a building, it is a structure. People often expect a magnificent stone building when you picture a European castle, but a castle is not necessarily a building that can shelter its inhabitants, but rather a whole collection of defensive structures. What you observed as the ‘gigantic houses’ like in 5:48 are not the castle itself, they are called the tenshu, or the main keep of the castle, but there are several other components of the castle. The castle as a whole is the arrangement of different keeps, the moat, the walls, the tiers etc which cumulatively work together to defend. 6:17 is a good visual reminder of this. It is not just the ‘gigantic house’ at the top which is the castle, but that entire complex on the mountain, with all its individual tiers, walls, stone foundations, gates, moat, castle town and all those fortifications etc which form the ‘castle’. A castle doesn’t have to simply be a connected building.

Actually helpful for my history exam, thank you!
I still have dreams of wandering through the castles in Japan from when I was a student on exchange. Indescribable beauty.
i heared the corners of the roofs are shaped to let in the sun in the winter and keep it out in the summer aint that smart
I have grown to love this simple history man's voice.
wow these are so beautiful. Also, congrats on 50,000 subscribers
Nice, didn't know you had another channel!
A wonderful marvel of Japanese engineering and culture
Nice video
If you come to visit Japan by your first time be careful.Don't hit your head on the ceiling
Amazing how at no point during the entire video, did you explain the actual engineering mentioned in the title.
Thanks for saving my time.
Wow

Shuri castle *cod world at war flashbacks of polonsky/roebuck getting killed and the final banzai charges and just utter madness of the shuri castle*

I wonder why this video has gotten so little traction, odd.
