A morning stroll in the castle-ruin park linked to Akechi Mitsuhide
About this spot
Shoryuji Castle Park (勝竜寺城公園) is a park developed on the site of Shoryuji Castle, known as the castle into which Tama (Hosokawa Gracia), daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, married. Stone walls, moats, and a replica turret have been restored, and despite the compact grounds you can enjoy a walk through history. Much of the park is paved, making it easy to get around with a stroller. It is just the right size for one circuit during the cool morning hours, and a quiet spot perfect for starting the day.

It is within walking distance of JR Nagaokakyo Station, and free parking is also available. In summer, visiting in the morning before the sunlight grows strong keeps things cool. The park is not very large, so it fits easily as a quick first stop in the morning.
