This was a day out in Tochigi Pref in late April. The weeds are starting to get a little high to really enjoy the castle ruins of un-maintained areas, but it was still a great day out. Tage Castle had been off my radar for a long time but as I was looking for a mountaintop castle that wasn't too difficult to get to but still had plenty to see I happened on to Tage Castle again. I like to combine trips to a big castle with some nearby smaller ruins and that's where I combined the day with a trip to Oyama and the three other castles you see here. There is some other great stuff around Kanuma near Tage Castle, but I'm saving that for a cycling trip this autumn. Originally I had planned to visit Nakakuki Castle on this day as well but by the time I was done with Washi Castle I was pretty well exhausted and may have been running too low on blood from all the mosquitoes in Oyama :) to walk a couple more kilometers to Nakakuki Castle too. Maybe I'll have a chance to visit Nakakuki Castle again some time and finish off the National Historic Sites known as the Oyama Castle Ruins.
