Takeda Castle Ruins
Rate this destination:
Takeda Castle is the tourism front runner in Hyogo Prefecture. The castle is often compared to "Machu Picchu" of Peru. The ruins are surrounded by haze, thus, it resembles a castle floating in the sky. The stonewalled castle's construction began on 1431. For a little history, Lord Sozen Yamana ordered the castle's construction to protect Takeda region from the invasion of Hariba and Tanba regions. On year 1443, the castle was completed. It has been a witness to several battles, until it was abandoned on 1600's.
