Castle ruins in the sky that offer a sweeping view of “Little Kyoto” Tsuwano
Tsuwano Castle Ruins are the ruins of a medieval mountain castle located at an elevation of 362m. It is the ideal spot to take in the of Tsuwano. The castle ruins offer a sweeping view of the rows of houses spread out along the foot of the gently sloping green mountains, and the Tsuwano River flowing slowly among them. When enveloped in morning clouds, the stone walls of the castle ruins appear to be floating, and the ruins genuinely take on the appearance of a castle in the sky! Visiting during the autumn foliage season is also recommended.You can access there by a chairlift departing from Taikodani Inari Shrine. It is about 20 minutes walk from the lift terminal to the ruin.
