Yamashiro Ruins and Takeda Castle Ruins

The National Historic Site Takeda Castle Ruins was selected as one of Japan's 100 Famous Castles by the Japan Castle Association in 2006, and is visited by many people every year. South Senjo, Kita Senjo, and Hanayashiki are arranged in a radial pattern with the castle tower in the center, and the entire mountain on which the castle is built looks like a reclining tiger, which is why it is called "Torafusujo". It is also called ``Kogajo''.

On clear early mornings from autumn to winter, you can see the ruins of Takeda Castle surrounded by a sea of clouds, creating a fantastical scenery reminiscent of a castle floating in the sky.
