📋 About This Mod
Japanese castles (城, shiro) are fortresses constructed primarily of wood and stone. They evolved from the wooden stockades of earlier centuries, and came into their best-known form in the 16th century. Castles in Japan were built to guard important or strategic sites, such as ports, river crossings, or crossroads, and almost always incorporated the landscape into their defenses.
A construction mod that adds a detailed replica of Japan's Himeji Castle, with interiors designed for at least 4 players across 5 levels including entrance, trophy room, kitchens, workshop, and dormitories. A niche build for fans of Japanese architecture, with modest community traction (43 endorsements).
