NAKATSU, JAPAN - OCTOBER 12: Owner Masayuki Okudaira poses in front of the Nakatsu-Jo Castle on October 12, 2007 in Nakatsu, Oita Prefecture, Japan. Due to the cost of maintaining the building, Mr Okudaira, 19th head of the family, wishes to sell the castle for 3 million US dollars. The city of Nakatsu is deciding whether to buy the local tourist attraction, where visitors can also view heirlooms from local governing families of past eras exhibited inside. Constructed from 1587 under the feudal rule of daimyo Kuroda Yoshitaka and completed under the 17th century rule of daimyo Hosokawa Tadaoki, the current five-tiered castle was rebuilt in 1964 after being destroyed by fire in the 1877 Satsuma Rebellion.
