In the spring, pretty wildflowers welcome us near the ruins of Shimizuyama Castle, a medieval mountain castle. In particular, the clusters of Mitsuba azaleas blooming along the mountain path near the "Yama no Eki" (Mountain Station), a little way up the mountain from the castle ruins, are magnificent.
