A vast grassland of about 90 hectares spreading across Kamikawa Town, Hyogo Prefecture, known as one of the leading silver grass colonies in Western Japan. In autumn, the entire area is covered with golden silver grass, and the way it sways in the wind looks just like a sea of light. Famous as a filming location for the movie "Norwegian Wood" and Taiga dramas, its quiet and beautiful scenery stretching endlessly deeply heals visitors' hearts. Its seasonal expressions are also attractive, such as mountain burning in spring, vivid green in summer, and snowy landscapes in winter. It is a photogenic and mystical highland resort where you can experience the feeling of being embraced by magnificent nature while walking along the well-maintained walkways.

Takeda Castle Ruins

Built on a 353-meter summit, this mountain castle ruin is world-renowned as the "Castle in the Sky" or the "Machu Picchu of Japan."

The magnificent stone walls, piled up over 400 years ago, represent the pinnacle of civil engineering at the time, and the view of the Tajima cityscape below is truly spectacular. Walking the paths to the castle and watching the movement of the clouds from the top...
