Ogimachi Castle Ruins Observatory
The viewpoint is a popular spot to overlook the village of Ogimachi in Shirakawa, Gifu Prefecture, known by the name "Shirakawa-go," from an elevated position. Ogimachi Castle was a small mountain castle built atop a 60-meter hill with dimensions of approximately 60 meters east-west and 50 meters north-south; now, only remnants like earthworks remain.
Looking out over Shirakawa-go from the Ogimachi Castle Ruins Observatory is truly breathtaking. The rows of gassho-style houses are so distinctive. The scenery looks different in every season.
