[2025 Takatori Attraction] Travel Guide for Takatori-jō Castle Ruins (Updated Apr)

#Sakura2024 The ruins of Takatori Castle, towering over a mountain at an altitude of over 500m, were in a great location with a great view. It was a magnificent and quiet space where you could feel the passage of a thousand years of time. There were many large trees that were said to be over 700 years old. The magnificent castle walls remain, and walking along them makes it clear that the area was quite large. It was a place worth seeing, but I think it would be dangerous to wear sandals. I recommend going there dressed like you would for mountain climbing. #NaraPrefecture #CastleTour

#cherryblossom2024 🌼💮🤗 During our amazing trip, I went on an exciting adventure to the lively city of Japan. Spring had changed the area into a paradise and walking through Takato Castle Ruins Park made us feel refreshed. The beautiful scenery of this perfect retreat left us mesmerized, creating memories that would never be forgotten. Nestled within the enchanting Ina city lies the resplendent Takato Castle Ruins Park, a haven adorned with approximately 1,500 majestic trees. Amongst this verdant tapestry, a remarkable variety of blossoms graces the landscape, their petals painted in a vibrant hue of luminous pink. As you wander through this ethereal sanctuary, you shall also discover an additional 500 cherry trees, elegantly adorning the splendid garden of the Edo-era castle known as Komoro Kaikoen. Immerse yourself in the sheer magnificence of nature's artistry as you traverse these regal grounds. This luxurious and enchanting sanctuary has left a lasting impression deep within my mind. The joy of returning and savoring each moment in this unique haven is truly unmatched. 🤗💮🌼🩷#mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip

Tourist Attractions Takatori Castle, one of the three great mountain castles in Japan, is a mountain castle built on the top of Mt. Takatori, which is 583.9 meters above sea level. Currently, it is covered in greenery and you can only see the stone walls, but when you think about the fact that a castle was built in such a place with such a difference in elevation, you can once again feel the amazing abilities of the people of the past. You will be walking a lot! Drinks are a must! By the way, please note that the 100 Famous Castles stamp is not at Takatori Castle, but at the tourist information center in Takatori Town.
