Tsuwano Castle

Reviewed By BZimm08 - Iwakuni, Japan

The Tsuwano Castle ruins was one of the highlights of visiting Tsuwano and I highly recommend coming here. There are a few options of getting to the top, you can hike or take a chair lift. It looks as if they are building a road closer so parking near the ruins, might be another option in the future. I opted for the chair lift since I have yet to do that in Japan. You can take the lift back down or hike. Once at the top, you do have to hike a little to get to the actual ruins but it is a fairly easy hike. The ruins and locations are incredible. The views from each ledge is gorgeous. The ruins itself are massive, I wish I could see what it would have been like when built up. The Tsuwano Castle ruins are easily one of my favorites in Japan.

Taikodani Inari Shrine

Reviewed By BZimm08 - Iwakuni, Japan

I visited the Taikodani Inari Shrine after going to the castle ruins. There is a nice trail from the ruins directly to the shrine. There is a large parking lot in front of the shrine. The complex is pretty large and the main temple is beautiful! I love the red and white colors and other traditional items. The shrine is just beautiful, don't miss the Tori Gates that go up/down the hill, there are 273 gates and it makes for fantastic photos. From the shrine you get magnificent views of the town and surrounding area, I can't wait to come back here in the fall time.

Tsuwano Catholic Church

Reviewed By Rick28200 - San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Spain

This is a unique chapel. Tatami mats instead of pews. Since there are not hoards of tourists, one can enter to meditate and pray in peace. There are a little shop with religious objects and no attendant. You grab what you want and pay by depositing money in the box.
