Primarily constructed for their military defense reasons, the castles guarded important strategic sites, such as ports, river crossings or crossroads, and almost always incorporated its surrounding landscape into their defense. As small battles were fought, the need for stronger fortifications began, resulting in a total of over 3,000 castles \u2013 including <i>Azuchi<\/i> Castle, one of the famous castles built by the dominant warlords of <i>Nobunaga<\/i>. However, once peace was brought to Japan under the <i>Tokugawa<\/i> rule, the need of castles vastly declined to nearly 170 castles.<\/p>\n<p>Japanese castles follow a classic structure that begins with selecting the right plot of land where the castle rests. It utilized walls that were cut from the mountainsides and carved out moats to add to the fortification. The central part of the castle is the most recognizable. Many castle towers have a five story structure on the outside and eight stories on the inside. This gave a military advantage to protect the building from attackers.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most famous castles in Japan is the <i>Himeji<\/i> Castle. It has the classic hilltop architecture and is a collection of 83 interconnected buildings. This structure was built with advanced military fortifications during the feudal period. It is the best example of a prototypical Japanese castle. The family crests that signify the various Lords who inhabited the structure can be found throughout the castle. The <i>Himeji<\/i> Castle is the largest and most visited castle in Japan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Product of the Month: <i>Gourmet Sizzler\u00ae<\/i> Electric Griddle (EA-DCC10)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/EA-DCC10.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-413 alignleft\" alt=\"EA-DCC10\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/EA-DCC10.jpg\" width=\"241\" height=\"186\" \/><\/a>Zojirushi would like to introduce the newest addition to the family of great appliances, the <i>Gourmet Sizzler<\/i>\u00ae Electric Griddle EA-DCC10.
