This is a project I've worked on for a while. Its a recreation of the famous castle in Japan on a 1:1 scale. I originally built this to make it into an adventure map but I ran out of steam, so I'm giving this to the world of minecraft to complete it.
The inspiration for this came from a documentary I saw on feudal Japan. It went into depth about its design and how it was build to repel attacks from invading forces. Not just armies though... ninjas. Its overall design leads you through a maze in which you are constantly barraged by arrows coming from all direction. Once you are inside it gets worse as booby traps are laid out at every turn. This idea was what inspired me to make this into an adventure map. My advise is to use the maze to your advantage using dispensers and skeletons to simulate the barrage of arrows. Inside buildings I would get creative with redstone and any trap you can think of, the more the better as it is you duty to frustrate invading forces. The goal of the invader/adventurer/ninja/ninjas is to reach the top of the main keep (the biggest tower). I would make the main keep crazy with mobs (bosses) and reward the victor with whatever you find fitting.
Keep me updated if you decide to continue on with this project.

Its just too much for one person to do. I've left it up to the community to see if anyone is up to the challenge, but there haven't been any takers.
