I knew that Taki Rentaro got the inspiration of his famous melody of “Kojyo no Tsuki”, and thought that it is just ruins of an old castle. Indeed, it was a good surprise. Oka Castle ruins is a wonderful place to familiarize with the great nature. The distanced view of Kujyu mountains is fantastic. Outside of Hokkaido, there is still some place like this in Japan. It is a new discovery.
