I'm planning a visit to Matsue Castle in late November. What are the operating hours for the main castle tower and the Honmaru grounds during that time? Also, please confirm if the castle is open every day of the year.
Navigate to the '料金・営業時間' (Fees and Business Hours) page. Identify the '天守入場時間' (Castle Tower Admission Hours) for the '10月1日〜3月31日' (October 1st - March 31st) period, noting the opening, closing, and last entry times. Identify the '本丸開門・閉門時間(入場無料)' (Honmaru Gate Opening/Closing Hours (Free Admission)) for the '10月1日〜3月31日' (October 1st - March 31st) period. Confirm if the castle is open daily by looking for '年中無休' (open all year round). State the operating hours for the castle tower (including last entry), the access hours for the Honmaru grounds, and confirm daily operation for a late November visit.
The castle tower operating hours for late November (Oct 1st - Mar 31st period) are identified as 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, with last entry at 4:30 PM. The Honmaru grounds access hours for late November (Oct 1st - Mar 31st period) are identified as 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM. The agent explicitly states that the castle is open daily ('年中無休').
