A picture-perfect townscape with authentic British castle at its center.
Release your inner shutterbug at Lockheart Castle, a reconstructed Scottish castle and a recreated medieval townscape. This authentic castle, built in 1829, has been used as a filming location for various dramas due to its beautiful setting. The romantic atmosphere, including the English-style Williams Garden made from Scottish stone blends seamlessly with the surrounding nature for a look and feel that’s straight from outside Japan.
Plan a day with heaps to try like the “Princess Dress Experience" as a special highlight. Step up and select from over 1,000 elegant dresses before snapping a photo inside the castle. Dress sizes start at 80cm, meaning even the smallest of princesses can join in the photo fun.
