Welcome to Kameojo Castle Ruins Park

Hello, fellow travelers!
This is your SaruKuma writer, Asukarando.

Today we’re heading to a wonderfully atmospheric historical site located in
Kameo, Shichijo-machi, Kikuchi City, Kumamoto Prefecture—
“Kameojo Castle Ruins Park”!

Let me take you on a tour of this historic castle ruins park (^-^)/

Here’s the parking area—convenient and easy to find (^-^)

From the parking lot, a charming stone-paved path leads you toward the park entrance.

Along the way, you’ll pass a beautiful pond where colorful koi fish gracefully swim (^-^)

Climb these stone steps to begin your journey upward (^-^)

At the top, expansive terraced grass lawns open up before you (^-^)

Highlights & Recommended Spots

Could this be where Kameojo Castle once stood?
There’s a striking samurai-style banner on display (^-^)/

It’s fascinating to imagine what this place looked like in feudal times!

Venture further in and you’ll discover a quiet Shinto shrine tucked among the trees (^-^)

The shrine has a deeply historic feel, radiating a serene and almost otherworldly atmosphere!

The upper grass lawn is dotted with cherry blossom (sakura) trees and offers stunning panoramic views.
During hanami (cherry blossom) season, this spot must be absolutely magical (⌒0⌒)／~~
