Takeda Castle ruins is known as the “castle floating in the sky” and the “Machu Picchu of Japan,” because of the way it appears to be floating atop the sea clouds that have rolled in fresh from the coast on misty autumn mornings. 
The castle was originally built in 1411 due to the increasing aggression between the Yamana and Toyotomi daimyos. The castle’s forces fought against the Tokugawa clan during the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, and not long after, the castle was abandoned. It’s located in the hills of Asago city and covers a quarter of a mile in length. No buildings have been left standing on the castle grounds, but the foundations are largely intact. Visitors can follow a one-way walk around the ruins with stunning views of the surrounding mountains and the town below. The most popular viewing spot of the ruins is from Ritsuunkyo on the mountain slopes opposite at sunrise.

武田城遗址被称为 "漂浮在空中的城堡 "和 "日本的马丘比丘"，因为在薄雾弥漫的秋日清晨，它就像漂浮在刚从海岸滚滚而来的海上云层之上。 
这座城堡最初建于 1411 年，原因是山名大名和丰臣大名之间的侵略日益加剧。在 1600 年的关原之战中，城堡的军队与德川家族作战，不久之后城堡就被废弃了。它位于浅子市的山丘上，全长四分之一英里。城内没有任何建筑物，但地基基本完好。游客可以沿着废墟单向步行，欣赏周围群山和城下的迷人景色。日出时，从对面山坡上的律顺京（Ritsuunkyo）眺望遗址是最受欢迎的观景点。

武田城遗址不仅是一个可以欣赏云海美景的壮观景点，也是日本的历史地标。

Takeda Castle Ruins

Hyōgo Prefecture has coastlines on two seas. To the north, the Sea of Japan, and to the south, the Seto Inland Sea, and most of its population reside on the southern coast. Due to this, it’s no surprise that agriculture, forestry, and fisheries are the main pulls of Hyōgo’s economy. The prefecture contains a variety of communities ranging from rural villages to large cosmopolitan cities, with some isolated islands thrown in for good measure. It is another prefecture that is blessed with an abundance of natural beauty with twenty percent of the total land in the prefecture being designated as natural parks in 2008. Various leisure activities such as hiking, swimming, skiing, and bathing in natural hot springs can be enjoyed while you’re here. Due to the region's vast size, the climate varies greatly, and it’s often referred to as “Japan in miniature” due to its diversity! Hyōgo is steeped in a rich history and home to one of the biggest and best-preserved feudal-era castles in Japan. Himeji Castle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Himeji and is also known as White Heron Castle due to its elegant tall, white appearance. Other cultural and historical highlights include Engyoji Temple, Takeda Castle Ruins, and taking the cable car up Mount Rokko to admire the panoramic views of Osaka Bay and Kobe City.
Its capital, Kobe, is famed for its prized melt-in-your-mouth beef that is of the highest quality in the world. Kobe was one of the first to be opened to international forging trade in the 19th century resulting in some of their local dishes being internationally influenced and it is home to one of Japan’s three Chinatowns. There’s plenty more to indulge in than simply beef while visiting the prefecture. The highest rate of tea and bread consumption in all of Japan is actually in Kobe. As the prefecture has two seas, seafood is a big part of their diets. Akashiyaki is the rumored forefather of takoyaki, which are balls of a light egg batter with pieces of octopus in the center doused in a dashi broth, and they make the perfect snack. ikanago (sand eel) is also popular along with taimeshi (steamed sea bream with rice). However, like every prefecture throughout Japan, they also have their own version of yakisoba along with some of the best Chinese food in Japan thanks to its large population of Chinese immigrants. 

兵库县拥有两个海域的海岸线。北部是日本海，南部是濑户内海，大部分人口居住在南部海岸。因此，农业、林业和渔业成为兵库县的主要经济支柱也就不足为奇了。兵库县内有各种社区，从农村到大型国际都市，还有一些孤立的岛屿。2008 年，该县总面积的 20% 被指定为自然公园，是另一个拥有丰富自然景观的县。在这里，您可以享受徒步旅行、游泳、滑雪和泡天然温泉等各种休闲活动。兵库县幅员辽阔，气候差异很大，因此常被称为 "日本的缩影"！兵库历史悠久，是日本最大、保存最完整的封建时代城堡之一。姬路城位于姬路，是联合国教科文组织世界遗产，因其高大优雅的白色外观而被称为白鹭城。其他文化和历史景点包括永应寺、武田城遗址，以及乘坐缆车登上六甲山欣赏大阪湾和神户市容全景。
神户的首府神户市以世界上最优质、入口即化的珍贵牛肉而闻名。神户是 19 世纪首批向国际锻造贸易开放的城市之一，因此当地的一些菜肴受到了国际影响，神户还是日本三大唐人街之一的所在地。除了牛肉之外，到该县旅游还有很多其他美食。神户的茶叶和面包消费量居日本全国之首。神户县有两个海域，因此海鲜是他们饮食的重要组成部分。明石烧据说是章鱼烧的鼻祖，章鱼烧是一种用淡鸡蛋面糊做成的球状食物，中间夹着章鱼块，浇上鱼汤，是一种完美的点心。不过，与日本各地一样，由于中国移民人口众多，这里也有自己的炒面和一些日本最好的中餐。

NOT SURE WHERE TO GO?

The archipelago of Japan consists of four main islands, eight regions of Japan, and a total of 47 prefectures between them, each with their own diverse traditions, culture, food, and history. Hokkaido is the main northern island, followed by Honshu (home to Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Kansai, and Chugoku), Shikoku, Kyushu, and the Okinawa islands to the southwest.

Discover the unique offerings of each region by checking out the Japan areas above, like the coastal prefecture of Shizuoka (home to hot springs, Mt. Fuji, and a booming agricultural industry) and Nara Prefecture (which boasts eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites). While Japan might be perceived as a tiny country (the archipelago is smaller than the state of California), the nation is diverse in climate and culture. Each area of Japan has its own staple produce and regional Japanese cuisine.

Not only can you explore the popular destinations of Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, but there are also a variety of other areas in Japan ranging from adventurous spots for daredevils to super-rural areas where visitors can connect with the land and people.

Delve into Japanese food culture, discovering the distinctive and diverse range of Japanese dishes which are sometimes sophisticated, sometimes hearty and comforting, but always delicious. These Japanese foods offer a window into the world of “washoku” (Japanese cuisine), which made UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2013.	


There’s worldwide appreciation for Japanese food, with Tokyo boasting the world’s highest number of Michelin-starred restaurants for the 12th year in a row in 2019. Not only is Japan home to some of the best chefs and restaurants in the world, but the Japanese cuisine (“washoku”) is also celebrated as one of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritages. The main staples of Japanese food include rice (in various forms from steamed white rice to mochi), soy products (tofu, soy sauce, miso soup, natto), fish (sashimi, bonito flakes, grilled salmon), seaweed (kombu, nori, wakame), noodles (soba, udon, ramen), and tsukemono (Japanese pickles). Different regions of Japan also have their own specialty foods. Osaka, considered “The Nation’s Kitchen” is the birthplace of takoyaki, Kyoto is famous for tofu and yuba, and Okinawa is known for goya champuru (bittermelon stir fry). Many regions in Japan have their own special twists on dishes like Japanese ramen, nabe (hot pot), and ozoni (mochi soup eaten on New Year’s Day). Explore the Japanese foods above and learn about the diversity of Japanese cuisine, then perhaps you can join a food experience and learn to make Japanese food during a cooking class, become an expert on Japanese sake or tea during a tasting experience, or discover your new favorite type of ramen during a ramen tour. The landscape of Japanese food is evolving, so eating in Japan is always an adventure, with restaurants and chefs riffing on traditional and modern foods, Eastern and Western cooking styles and flavors, and creating inventive eats like chocolate ramen, matcha beer, or ridiculously pillowy Japanese pancakes.
