The many windows of Inuyama Castle are allvertical lattice windows with long vertical gaps.
There is only one horizontal lattice window thatbreaks the rules with long horizontal gaps...
You'll have to look where it is as you climb up.

SHACHIHOKOOMOKARU ISHI

Shachihoko are a pair of mythical male andfemale sea creatures found on Japanese castle
roofs often likened to a married couple. In July
2017, the northern Shachihoko was struck bylightning and shattered; seven months later a
new one was completed. The southern
Shachihoko is now 59 years old, which means
they are a couple with a rather large age gap.

The stone is lifted while thinking of a wish,
and if it feels light, the wish will come true.
If the will to wish is heavy, will the stonebe light?
