The mountain behind ``Roadside Station Woody Keihoku'' is called Shiroyama, and there is the remains of Shuyama Castle, a huge stone wall built by Mitsuhide Akechi.

Shuyama Castle was built around XNUMX, and after Akechi Mitsuhide was defeated in the Battle of Yamazaki on June XNUMX, XNUMX, the castle was abandoned (ruined) by order of Hideyoshi. Because the time period was very limited, only XNUMX or XNUMX years after the castle was built, it is a valuable historical site when considering the castle construction techniques of the time and the state of castles.
This course takes you through the remains of the Shuyama Castle ruins, such as the stone walls, as well as visiting temples associated with Akechi Mitsuhide.
Please note that Shuyama Castle Ruins is located in the mountains surrounded by cedar trees, so you will need sneakers or other comfortable shoes for walking.
