Comment
Any vacation to Japan will (and must) include some form of sightseeing. Many a times, tourists would want to visit a Japanese castle at least once. A little less known fact is that every Japanese castle has its own commemorative coins. It is made in the exact same dimension and weight, so much so it makes a pretty nifty souvenir.There are a total amount of 12 tokens about castles to collect from across Japan. The commemorative coin machine is located pretty prominently at the souvenir store. Except at Inuyama, where the coin machine is at the nearby museum instead.
