Best Stunning Views In Asago-shi

Great View Of Takeda Castle SiteRitsu'un Kyo Gorge

Ritsu'un Kyo Gorge commands Takeda Castle Site, that is famous as a castle in the sea of clouds in winter. Here's a nice place called Japanese Machu Picchu. There's no parking area, and we need 200 yen as mountain entrance fee. You can find Third Observatory after five minutes climbing the steep road, and more five minutes to Second one. Then after about thirty minutes climb from you start, when the physical fitness is likely to reach its limit, there's First Observatory!

Takeda Castle In The Sea Of CloudsTakeda Castle Remains

Takeda Castle floating on the sea of clouds is really a wonderful view we must see once in our lives! Though you need to climb the mountain to both the Takeda Castle remains and Ritsu'unkyo Valley, the moving scenery will blow your sleepiness and tiredness away! What's more, in summer, you can see the beautiful view like Ghibli movie 'Castle In The Sky' with lush greens.◎The sea of clouds will appear in the early morning (from dawn to 8:00) between September and November. To see the whole view of Takeda Castle, you need to prepare mountain-climbing boots and flashlights. The open hour changes by seasons, please check out the official HP for sure beforehand.
