Moving Kintaikyo Bridge to Iwakuni Castle

I moved from Kintaikyo Bridge to Iwakuni Castle.

I rode on ropeway to go to the castle.

Then, I walked for about five minutes.

Iwakuni Castle

Now I arrived at Iwakuni Castle.

Family emblems of the castle owner were embedded in the tile.

I will go inside the castle.

View from the top of the castle.

After observing the inside of the castle, I went around the castle.

Stone wall.

I took several photos of the castle from various angles.

There were also autumn leaves near the castle.

Then, I left Iwakuni Castle and wend back.

Soft cream at Sasaki-ya Kojiro Shoten

Before I left Iwakuni, I bought a soft cream at Sasaki-ya Kojiro Shoten, as there were many shops that sold soft cream around there.

There were many variety of soft creams.

I bought “CREMIA”, which a shop staff recommended.

That’s it for the article about Iwakuni Castle. As I mentioned in the previous article, there is a combination ticket for Kintaikyo Bridge, Ropeway and Iwakuni Castle, so if you have a chance to visit Iwakuni, I would recommend you visit Kintaikyo Bridge and Iwakuni Castle first.

Now, I left Iwakuni and moved to Miyajima. From the next article, I will write about Miyajima. In particular, my main objective of this trip was to visit Itsukushima Shrine in Miyajma, so I will write about Itsukushima Shrine in three articles – (1) daytime with high tide, (2) daytime with low tide and (3) evening and night 🙂
