A little travel guide with Tabi

Find a view and a small meal.
肝付町
Visit a space research facility and the ruins of Koyama Castle. The observatory’s public areas are subject to operational restrictions; check official notices first and plan the separate castle visit.

These are the ruins of a hilltop stronghold of the Kimotsuki family. The 2007 photo shows the castle hill from near the Honjo River, not a surviving keep. Check current trail conditions and access before setting out.
