Spring Stroll with a Side of History

#springitinerary Akizuki Castle Ruins in spring? Totally worth it. The old castle might be ruins now, but the vibe is still strong, think stone walls, moats, and cherry blossoms doing their thing all around. Back in the day, this castle was a samurai stronghold, built in the 1500s, so walking around feels like stepping back in time (minus the battles and samurai, thankfully). Spring makes it extra pretty, with cherry trees blooming and the whole place covered in soft pink petals. The trails around the ruins are easy to stroll, perfect for just chilling and soaking in some history mixed with nature. There are also some cool info signs if you wanna nerd out a bit. Whether you’re into history or just want a peaceful spot with beautiful spring vibes, Akizuki Castle Ruins is a sweet little hidden gem to check out.
