Known as the castle in the sky, the famous Takeda Castle Ruins viewed from Ritsuun Gorge across the sea of clouds looks absolutely gorgeous. If you could reach there before daybreak, you'll be able to see the beautiful collaboration of the dawning sky and the lit-up ruins. Note that it'll take about 30 minutes of hiking to the observation deck. But it is well worth it, so do visit the spot during the Rugby World Cup 2019（TM） games!
