Awaji Island Attractions: Sumoto Castle Ruins, Overlooking the Ki-Awa Strait

Today we came to the "Sumoto Castle Ruins", one of the 100 most famous castles in Japan. Sumoto Castle is located on Mikuma Mountain in the southeast of Awaji Island. It is also known as Mikuma Castle and Sumoto Castle. If you are traveling to Awaji Island during the cherry blossom season or maple leaf season, it is highly recommended to visit the Sumoto Castle Ruins if you have time. You can take beautiful photos of maple leaves, cherry blossoms and the castle tower. The castle tower on the stone wall is a simulated castle tower. It was built in 1928 to celebrate the accession of Emperor Showa. It is the oldest simulated castle tower in Japan. It is a pity that you can no longer go up to the castle tower now, otherwise you should be able to take many beautiful scenery photos. Sumoto Castle is located on a mountain at 133 meters high. It still retains the stone walls from the Edo period and is designated as a national historic site and a cultural property of Hyogo Prefecture.
