Yonago Castle Ruins

Freya McLaughlan a year ago

Impressive ruins very close to town and the route from the station to the ruins goes through many historical building and sights. There are many stone steps to get up to the ruins, but there are bamboo poles at the base for you to use if you like. Return once you come down from the top. It would be lovely in Sakura season, but it was also nice in autumn. At the top there are benches and an undercover seating area. There are info guides and maps. It’s 10- 15 mins to get up, depending how “stair fit” you are. You can descend a different way if you wish.

The weather wasn't great the week I stayed in Yonago, so I couldn't see Daisen from the top of the ruins. But it was still a great view, and a nice little hike. Lots of interesting bugs at the top, too. And wasps and mosquitoes, which weren't so great.

You can climb the little hill in about 10 minutes from Minatoyama park. There are some signs in English when you reach the top, but nothing during the hike. The view is beautiful, especially during the cherry blossom season.

It's neither a leisure walk nor a difficult climb to the ruins. There are bamboo sticks at the entrance to the ruins and remember to get one when you set off. The view on the top is magnificent and well worth all the effort climbing uphill.

You will mesmerize by the view of Yonago city. At one side there is Mt. Daisen opposite to it there will be sunset view. Lake and seashore all over gives you very good vibes about nature. Small trek to mountain. Just follow steps. You will love this place. Carry your headphones as you will love to stay here long listening your favourite picks.
