Hiking to the Nitta Castle Ruins on Mt. Kanayama




The fall weather, R & R, and a hike in hills. The trail to the centuries-old Nitta family castle ruins in Gunma Prefecture is where the view overlooks(see the header photo as ex.) the cities of Ota, Kiryu and Ashikaga. The sun pool--a rare thing atop a small mountain--was built especially to collect rainwater for the castle operations.(click the pic to see detail)
