It is a nice hike through the woods to get up here, but from a here you can't really see a lot. you can't see the city you can only see the mountains. There is almost nothing left from the castle. Just a few stones.
It can be reached by foot only with lots of steps to climb, the path was not paved with stone or concrete and can be muddy after the rain. My legs were tired after climbing there. Not recommended for seniors with disability and small children.
Not so great view of the city as most views were obscured by trees. So not great for photography.
Pretty much like walking in the woods for good air and exercise.
A very quiet walk up the hill but didn't manage to get to the top as the trail was getting creepy ;) but I got quite a number of good shots of the city in between...
A 20-minute walk from Takayama Station or a bus ride from the city center can reach the ruins.
Visitors can explore the ruins' open-air area and walk along the walls and foundations.
While the ruins do not host specific events or activities, they are famous for hiking and picnics.
Other must-see destinations include the Hida Kokubunji Temple, Shiroyama Park, and the Takayama Jinja Shrine, all within walking distance of the castle ruins.
Photography is allowed to capture and witness the beauty of the place.
