Japanese castle emoji meaning

The Japanese castle emoji is a picture of a traditional Japanese castle, which typically feature tall, stone walls and multiple buildings inside.

They were also used as the residence of the ruling samurai or other high-ranking officials, and were often surrounded by gardens and other beautiful landscaping. In modern times, many Japanese castles have been preserved as historical landmarks and are popular tourist attractions.
