Welcome to “Hidden Germany | ドイツ探検隊”
About This Site
In recent years, the global economy has been undergoing significant shifts, and Germany is now facing what many describe as its most severe postwar economic crisis. At the same time, Japan continues to struggle with prolonged stagnation, making overseas travel increasingly difficult for many people.
This is precisely why I created this website — built on the concept of “experiencing Germany without being there” and offering a “journey of the heart” that anyone can enjoy.
About the Administrator: Nori
I, Nori, the administrator of this site, was born and raised in Tokyo and have lived in Germany since 1993.
I hold the German State-Certified Bilingual Secretary qualification and have worked for over twenty years as an executive secretary at major Japanese companies in Germany. These professional experiences have shaped my ability to organize information with precision, maintain a high level of accuracy, and utilize near-native German skills.
By sharing reliable information based on original German sources, I aim to deliver the authentic atmosphere of Germany — the kind that rarely appears in guidebooks — directly to my readers.
What “Hidden Germany | ドイツ探検隊” Offers
This website focuses specifically on Germany’s historic castles.
- What is the history behind each castle?
Discover the stories, legends, and historical background that have been passed down through centuries. - Where is the castle located?
Learn about each castle’s surroundings and the landscapes that make it unique. - What can you find nearby?
Beyond the castles themselves, I introduce hidden gems, historical landmarks, and local attractions that help create the feeling of taking a real journey through Germany.
Even if you cannot visit in person, I hope to offer a virtual escape — a chance for your heart to travel through the screen.
Through this site, I aim to share the rich history, culture, and lesser-known treasures of Germany, allowing you to enjoy the experience of “traveling in your mind.”
So let’s explore Germany’s hidden wonders together and embark on a memorable journey.
