The castle ruins of a powerful family that ruled this region since ancient times. It is said that Fujiwara Tsunekiyo and his son Kiyohira used it as a fortress in the late Heian period. In addition, an octagonal hall building, Nisei-in (Buddha statue preservation), was built as a facility to honor the achievements of the father and son Tsunekiyo and Kiyohira. You can enjoy the seasonal scenery with cherry blossoms, hydrangeas, and maple trees.


Nisei-in is usually closed. Open twice a year (May and August).

The former Iwayado Kyoritsu Hospital was built in the 7th year of the Meiji era as the prefecture's first hall of Western medicine, ``Iwayado Kyoritsu Hospital.''

This pavilion-style building, which uses Western-style techniques, is the motif of Kazuo Kikuta's ``Kane no Naru Oka,'' and the melody of ``Kane no Naru Oka'' plays every morning and evening.

Mukoyama Park, located on a hill nearby, has a spectacular view, and within the park are the former Goto family residence, which is a nationally important cultural property, and the Yasunari Kawabata Literary Monument.
