Second ruins of castle

In the second ruins of castle there was a shrine, too. The area was very wide. But, I was alone.
After I stayed there for a while, I left there.
Two ruins of castle in Niwase was very nice. Perhaps, I will never go there. It will stay in my memory for a long while.

Castle surrounded by a moat

After I left first ruins of castle, I walked for a while. Later, I found second one soon.
The second one was ruins of castle Natsukawa. It was more wide than castle Niwase. It had wide moat.

Shrine in ruins

The small lake was made for defense from enemy. It surrounded the ruins of castle.
It was a beautiful sight. I like the buildings which surrounded by water such as Japanese castle.
The castle was deleted during a long history. A shrine was there instead of castle.

Ruins of castle in Niwase in Okayama

I went to my father's home in this long holidays. I got off the train at the last station Niwase. And I walked around there and watched the ruins of castles.
The reason why I do so was that I found many small lakes and short rivers near the station on google's map.
Small lake was appeared as soon as I got off the train and walked. It was beautiful sight. It was ruins of castle Niwase.

Good landscape

Landscape from Mt. Kenashi was very nice. I could enjoy talking with mothers of students. I was envious of their husbands because they can climb mountain. My wife don't like to move body.
After we ate lunch, I guide them to down road to the parking area.

Good record

I reached to the summit in 29 minutes and 12 seconds. My son and his team reached in about 25 minutes. I loose the race.
But, I thought it was good record.

My son and his team members

My son's teammates gathered. I climbed Mt. Kenashi with them. I was my first climbing in Reiwa period.
I would race with them. The race was fight the time to reach summit of Mt. Kenashi. I did't want to loose children.
