The view from Mount Taishi, accessible through the Kinosaki Ropeway was awarded two stars in the Michelin Green Guide Japan 2013 as a spectacular view. “Kinosaki Onsen Ropeway” installed on Mount Taishi stretches from the valley station by way of the intermediate station, where the Onsenji Temple is located, to the summit station with its observation deck, which offers a panoramic view over the historic town Kionsaki Onsen as well as out on to the Sea of Japan.

Izushi Castle was built, in the year 1604 by Koide Yoshifusa at the base of Ariko Mountain in the west of Izushi town. A shrine is sited on the mountain, with 37 vermillion red tori (gates at the entrance to shinto shrines) lined up, which make a beautiful contrast to the castle. Ariko Mountain is also called Shiroyama (castle mountain) and is a well known spot for viewing cherry blossoms in spring.

Since the shape of the castle area resembles a lying tiger it is also called “Torafusujyou” (lying tiger castle) or “Kogajyou.” It is designated a national historic site. Looking up from the area around it, Takeda castle is situated on the far away mountain top and also referred to as Japan’s Machu Picchu or “Castle in the Sky” due to it often being surrounded by the mist from the Maruyama River. The old castle has become hugely famous for its majestic walls rising from the sea of clouds.

It takes about 50 minutes from Kinosaki Onsen by car.
