Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Perched on top of an 1,160-foot mountain peak, Takeda Castle is a ruined castle that was originally constructed in 1411. It's often surrounded by a sea of clouds in the early mornings, which has led to it being given nicknames like the "castle floating in the sky", but it's a wondrous sight even on clear days. There are plenty of excellent viewing points in the mountains surrounding the castle, with the most popular being the Ritsuunkyo Parking Lot and the hiking trails that start here, but visitors can also explore the castle foundation by walking along a well-marked trail.
