Watch your head as you climb the staircases, the samurai were generally smaller than the visitor's to the castle today. You will soon notice that the staircases are not connected to each other and are randomly located. They are also extremely steep (55-61 degree incline) and narrow. This is deliberate - making it more difficult for someone to quickly ascend the floors and providing more security against infiltrators.
