What a great read! The ruins of these castles are amazing. Just looking at them I can feel the history and historical importance of each location. I liked the bit about Lady Otsuya as well. I love that you can go almost anywhere in Japan and there's hundreds or even thousands of years worth of history to be discovered. I don't think it's a stretch to say that perhaps the ruins are more interesting than the castles themselves, albeit not quite as beautiful lol. Although the nature surrounding these ruins is also a thing of beauty. It's easy to understand why these places are considered the treasures of Gifu!
