Explore the historic Shinfu Castle Ruins in Nirasaki, Yamanashi, a site chosen by Takeda Katsuyori in 1581. Though short-lived, this castle offers a glimpse into the late Warring States period. Visitors can explore the remaining earthworks, moats, and the Fujitake Shrine located on the main enclosure. Enjoy panoramic views of the Shinfu peach orchards and the Yatsugatake Mountains. The best time to visit is during the peach blossom season in early to mid-April. The ruins are a 20-minute walk from Shinfu Station on the JR Chuo Main Line. Free parking is available near the site.
