Hi Thanks for your question! I visited the castle at about 11:00 morning and spent about 3 hours there although I can see myself spending full day if not few days there I am very sorry but I am not sure about visiting after hours I know for sure that they illuminate the castle at night and it's stunning but I m not sure about getting inside?! I am not Japanese so I didn't bother reading all rules written in Japanese If this is the only time you can come then may I suggest to get in touch with them on their web site and I am sure they will answer your question I am sorry I cannot be more helpful but it's the best I can do for you! Please make an effort to get inside as it's very very special experience to touch timber 400 years old which was maybe touched by great samurai warlords!! Good luck ABD I hope you can make it!!

I took a day pack with me, put my shoes in it and was able to get around inside the castle with it and there are some low bridges to go through on ladders, everyone is carrying their shoes. So if it is small, you should be ok.
