A mysterious ancient mountain castle site built on Mt. Kijo at an altitude of about 400 meters. Said to be the stage for the legend of the demon "Ura" in Japanese mythology, it is also called the place that became the root of the Momotaro legend. The reconstructed giant "West Gate" and the stone wall defense stretching for about 2.8 km along the mountain terrain are overwhelmingly powerful, giving you a sensation as if you've entered the world of a fantasy movie. The view from the summit is also spectacular, an adventure spot where you can experience the mystery of old history related to Japan's formation along with the superb view overlooking the Okayama Plain and Seto Inland Sea.

Kinshui-en Garden

Built as a garden for the Ashimori clan lord, the Kinshui-en is one of the most beautiful daimyo gardens in Okayama Prefecture. It features the "pond strolling style" where you walk around a pond to enjoy the scenery, and the "borrowed scenery" technique integrating the small hill in the background as part of the garden is superb. In particular, the Sukiya-style "Ginpukaku" building standing in the pond presents an elegant figure as if floating on the water, and in the autumn foliage season, it becomes a superb view like a single painting combined with the surrounding trees. It is a...

Bitchu Takamatsu Castle Ruins

This castle site is engraved in history for the "Water Attack," an astonishing tactic used by Toyotomi Hideyoshi during the Sengoku period. Currently maintained as a park, remnants such as the giant embankments built to besiege the castle still convey memories of the fierce battle of that time. Especially in summer, beautiful lotus flowers bloom to fill the former moats, known as "Muneharu Lotus" to please the eyes of visitors. Along with the story of the castle lord Muneharu Shimizu, who protected his samurai pride to the end, you can quietly trace the place that became a major turning point...
