I started my day with Japanese breakfast at Toraya, the Sunroute Hotel Wadayama, Hyogo.
We are near to the Ruins of Takeda Castle, Asagoshi city, Hyogo.
The only thing I didn’t know is I need to walk 2.2 km to reach the summit and the ruins of castle.
It was a nice walk to the summit.
We are greeted by the rainbow; that’s encouraging.
We finally reached the ruins of Takeda Castle.
Today, there are only castle’s stone foundation is available to visit.
The view is nice from the summit.
This is the ruin of Tenshukaku (the main building of the castle).
This ruins of Takeda Castle is famous and also called, Tenku no Shiro (the Castle above the Sky).
It is not the season now, but when the time is right, I can see a magnificent view like in a photo.
I would like to come back again for this scenery.
After a good excessive, I had Miso Nabe Udon (Miso Claypot Udon), together with snacks, Himeji Oden (Himeji Style is to eat oden with ginger sauce) and Oinari san (vinegared rice with tofu) at Wataya, Himeji, Hyogo.
Now left for a dessert.
This is Himeji’s casual dessert: Gozasoro.
It has two flavors: Koshian (red beans) and shiroan (white beans).
This would be my last Foodie Report for this trip.
This wasn’t a typical way of celebrating Christmas with turkey and cakes, but I enjoyed it greatly!
Merry Christmas!
