Ruins of Hinohara Castle: typical mountaincastle of Japan's Middle AgesCastle, 13 statues of Buddha have been erected, so you can follow the 13Buddha tour.

Thirteen Buddha tour: From Kichijoji Temple to the Ruins of Hinohara

There are castle ruins on the hill behind Kichijoji Temple, near the Village
Oﬃce. A typical mountain castle of Japan's Middle Ages, Hinohara Castle
was built by order of the mid‒Muromachi period Shogunate to prevent
the Takedas from infesting Bando. The ﬁrst castle lord was the 12th headof the Hirayama clan. About 175 years later, in the time of the 20th head,Ujishige Hirayama, the Hojos were destroyed by the Toyotomi army, andthe castle surrendered. The grave of Ujishige, who committed suicide,
was located at Chosenji Temple. The strategic importance of thelocation, used to suppress enemy attacks on occasion even into the Edoperiod, can be seen in place names such as Saiguchi and Sasaone(formerly Sasaeone, "Suppression Ridge") that remain from the time they
were locations for villagers to gather to prevent enemy invasions.

Mito Grand Falls

A "waterfall tour" is a staple ofHinohara sightseeing. Hinohara
Village is surrounded by mountains
on all sides, and Sengen-one
Ridge runs across it like abackbone. Countless mountainstreams flow into the north andsouth branches of the Akigawa
River. Waterfalls dot thosestreams, and just the ones that are
relatively accessible and wellknown to the villagers number
about 50. Hinohara Village is an
outstanding waterfall village.
The most popular is Hossawa
Falls, which is easy to enjoy
throughout the changings seasons,
including the fresh green of spring
and the colorful foliage of fall. The
only Tokyo waterfall in the "JapanTop 100 Waterfalls," Hossawa
Falls is worth a look.

The waterfall has long
been a place forchildren to play. Its poolis nicknamed theAmerican Abyss. Withabundant water pouringin thunderously, the fallis small but powerful,creating a masculine
scene.

Waterfalls

It is the only waterfallthat can be seen fromOkutama Shuyu
Road. It is full ofatmosphere, with aslow and gentle flowthat seems to slide
down. Long ago, it
was named"Nametaki" (literally,"Slide Falls").
A branch of Kuzuryu
Shrine in Togakushi
Village, Nagano
Prefecture, was built
here. Believers would
purify themselves bystanding under thecascade, which some
say looks as if Buddha
is standing under it.
