To the south of Izushi town in Hyogo Prefecture, the ruins of Izushi Castle is located.
Izushi Castle was built in 1604. It was one year after the Edo Age (1603 - 1868) started.
Izushi was the capital of Izushi Domain and the government office buildings of Izushi Domain were located at Izushi Castle.
If you walk from the Izushi Bus Stop to the east, you will see a bridge and a gate on your right.
This is the entrance of the ruins of Izushi Castle.
After passing through the gate, you will see the west turret of Izushi Castle from the bottom bailey.
At the bottom bailey, azalea blossoms were fully bloomed in May, when I visited.
On the east side of the castle, Torii gates continue over the "Inari" Slope from the bottom to the top bailey.
The view through the red Torii Gates were fascinating.
From the second bailey, you will see the east and west turrets.
From the west turret, you will see downtown Izushi.
A couple came right at that moment when I looked at the town.
This scenery was very lovely.
Torii gates continues to the top bailey.
On the top bailey, Arikoyama-Inari Shrine is located.
You will enjoy the scenery of downtown Izushi from the top bailey.
Izushi and the ruins of Izushi castle keep a good atmosphere in the Edo Age.
As Izushi is not far from Kinosaki-Onsen Hot Spring, Izushi is a good candidate to visit when you stay at Kinosaki Onsen.
