I went to the Hikone castle yesterday. Because it's one of YAMAZIRO （a mountain castle）, it was difficult to get to the main keep.
My legs……HAHAHAHA😅

Iga-Ueno Castle in Mie Prefecture

It was the home of one of Japan's two most famous ninja schools and the grounds, with their 30m (~98ft) stone walls that one can walk right up to the edge of, are a sight to see!
