π‘ Tips for Visitors
The castle requires a short but steep uphill walk, so wear comfortable shoes. Limited English signage is available, but the views from the top are self-explanatory and worth the climb. Visit during autumn for stunning foliage or combine your trip with the famous Gujo Odori dance festival in summer.
