What makes it special
About Minowa Castle Ruins
A perfect destination for history buffs and outdoor enthusiasts. The massive stone walls of the Sanomaru area are a breathtaking sight that showcases ancient engineering. Since the terrain includes unpaved paths, sturdy walking shoes are highly recommended. If you visit on a Sunday morning, you may even have the chance to collect a rare Goshuin (castle stamp).
