Which makes the 18th-century Hirado Castle in Nagasaki on the southern island of Kyushu even more special. The first UNESCO-recognized castle to allows overnights anywhere in the country, it'll reopen this summer after a soft opening in 2017 proved overwhelmingly positive. Visitors can sleep in a two-story Kaiju Yagura turret and get exclusive after-hour access to the castle’s on-site museum and public gardens. Inside, guests can ogle a wall-to-wall art collection by local artists, as well as a nine-course dinners featuring exceptional Hirado wagyu filet.

It's a regal, wholly transporting experience a city less tourist-ridden than Hiroshima."
