Immerse Yourself in the Majestic Scenery of Historical Castle Ruins

Feel the Breath of the Castle and the Power of the Stone Walls

Yonago Castle Ruins is one of the most magnificent castle ruins in the San'in region. The stairs leading from the stone pavement entrance to the top make one feel the footsteps of the ancient samurai. The construction of the stone walls, which allows visitors to physically experience history, exudes a sense of solidity and the weight of time.

Enchanting 360-Degree Panoramic View

Upon reaching the top after a challenging climb, one will be breathless at the vast scenery before them. The 360-degree panoramic view offers a breathtaking sight of the Nakaumi, Japan Sea, and even the distant Mt. Daisen. It is truly a magnificent sight. Visitors can be enchanted by the harmony of the majestic nature and the fortress.

Experience the Atmosphere of the Castle Town

Descending from the castle ruins, the cityscape of Yonago unfolds. The streets with brick buildings retain a strong resemblance to the old castle town. Visitors can immerse themselves in the unique atmosphere that blends the historical landscape with the liveliness of modern times.

Convenient Access and Child-Friendly

Yonago Castle Ruins, within walking distance from JR Yonago Station, offers excellent access and peace of mind for families with children. The stairs are equipped with gently sloping wooden steps, and free cane rentals are available, making it easy for visitors of all ages to explore. This is truly a family-friendly tourist spot where one can enjoy historical sites and scenic views.

Gorgeous views of the city. Hard to get to unless you time the bus schedules well or have a car.

Impressive ruins very close to town and the route from the station to the ruins goes through many historical building and sights. There are many stone steps to get up to the ruins, but there are bamboo poles at the base for you to use if you like. Return once you come down from the top. It would be lovely in Sakura season, but it was also nice in autumn. At the top there are benches and an undercover seating area. There are info guides and maps. It’s 10- 15 mins to get up, depending how “stair fit” you are. You can descend a different way if you wish.

You can climb the little hill in about 10 minutes from Minatoyama park. There are some signs in English when you reach the top, but nothing during the hike. The view is beautiful, especially during the cherry blossom season.

The weather wasn't great the week I stayed in Yonago, so I couldn't see Daisen from the top of the ruins. But it was still a great view, and a nice little hike. Lots of interesting bugs at the top, too. And wasps and mosquitoes, which weren't so great.

You will mesmerize by the view of Yonago city. At one side there is Mt. Daisen opposite to it there will be sunset view. Lake and seashore all over gives you very good vibes about nature. Small trek to mountain. Just follow steps. You will love this place. Carry your headphones as you will love to stay here long listening your favourite picks.
