A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
嵐山町
This is Ranzan in Saitama, distinct from Kyoto’s Arashiyama. Follow the earthen defenses of Sugiyama Castle and Sugaya Yakata to explore medieval castle sites through their surviving terrain.
This guide covers places within Ranzan, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
01 · EXPLORE
Two different places: start with whichever interests you.
01A first-visit stop
杉山城跡
The photograph shows the main bailey’s grassy ground and signs. The tourism association describes a hill castle with multiple baileys and bent defensive lines. Take care on slopes and wet earth paths, and avoid climbing the remains.
Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
02A first-visit stop
菅谷館跡
The image shows a moat and earthen defenses. Although associated with Hatakeyama Shigetada’s residence, the official account distinguishes that tradition from the surviving castle layout of the Sengoku period.

02 · A LITTLE BITE
Ranzan kara-motsu yakisoba is a spicy local noodle dish featuring pork offal and thick noodles. Recipes and heat levels vary; check ingredients, including pork and wheat, and current availability with the restaurant.
