Entrance way and Map. As you can see, it's quite large.
Yes, we climbed all of those stairs.
Yamanaka Castle is famous for these square holes in the ground--dry moats that served as barriers to enemy attacks.
Very, very old graves. I'm not sure who they were for, but with the exception of the one on the top right, I'm guessing they're altars for those who built the castle.
Mountain scenery! Across from Yamanaka Castle is a great picnicking area where, on a clear day like today was, you can get lovely views of Mt. Fuji, seen on the bottom.
That's all! Hope you enjoyed the pictures! =]
These pictures are so beautiful, Dale! I thought I had gone somewhere extremely different with the two mountains that are nearby here.. but jeez! What a sight!
