This video, titled "A Tour of Japan's Castles: 160 Castles, Including Some of Japan's Top 100 Castles" (日本の城めぐり～日本100名城を含む160城), was released by "S. ENDO."

It's said that there used to be more than 25,000 castles in Japan.
They ranged from mountain castles to flat castles.
This video introduces castles (or castle ruins) from all eras, from ancient times to modern times.
There are a whopping 160 castles in all.
