Later on, while there is the example of Wakamatsu-jo Castle, which was completely taken apart to construct an Army post, there is also the example of Himeji-jo Castle, which was partially torn down to establish Army facilities but still retains major buildings such as a tenshu (main keep or tower of a castle) and most structural remnants, being designated a National Treasure and a special historic site.
その後、陸軍の兵営地とする目的で城郭建造物がすべて取り壊された若松城の例がある一方、一部の建造物が取り壊され、陸軍施設が設置されたが、天守等の主要な建造物やほとんどの遺構が現存し、国宝、特別史跡になっている姫路城の例がある。
