Ritsuunkyō, Canyon in Asago, Japan
Ritsuunkyō features multiple rock formations and observation decks offering views of the surrounding mountains and valleys in Hyogo Prefecture.
The canyon stands opposite to Takeda Castle, a fortress constructed in 1443 that served as a military stronghold during Japan's Warring States period.
During autumn mornings, the location presents the unkai phenomenon where Takeda Castle appears to float above clouds, drawing photographers from across Japan.
The observation points of Ritsuunkyō remain accessible by car from Takeda Station, though no public transportation reaches the viewing areas directly.
Several old temples at the base of the canyon functioned as residences for castle lords and created the first defense line during medieval conflicts.
