Beschrijving
Discover the historic streets of Iwamura on a guided day trip from Ena. Hike the ruins of Iwamura Castle, learn about its lady lord, and enjoy a scenic train ride through the mountains.
Begin your day with a local English-speaking guide meeting you at your hotel in the Nakatsugawa or Ena area, or at JR Ena Station. Board the Akechi Railway and travel through forest, farmland, and tunnel until the city feels a long way behind.
Arrive in Iwamura, home to Japan's highest mountain castle and one of its longest castle-town streetscapes. From the station, the road leads through the old town: past sake breweries that are still in operation, machiya houses turned into cafés and craft shops, and ancient stonework lining the streets.
After passing through the town, begin your ascent to the castle. Stone walls emerge gradually from the trees. The climb takes 30 to 40 minutes. At the summit, the views open wide, and your guide shares the stories of this castle and the people who shaped it.
On the way back down, your guide will show you the best local café and the dishes you will not find anywhere else. The return journey on the Akechi Railway brings the day to a close at its own pace.
