@Darren Halliday: The Hagi Castle ruin is in the town of Hagi on the San-in (shady side) coast of Honshu. The ruin is in the west part of the town which is small and easily walkable. Hagi is noted for its pottery. The finer pieces are expensive but quite beautiful. The local delicacy is uni or sea urchin which is interesting. From Hiroshima, it took about two and a half hours by shinkansen and local JR train.

Interesting shot there steve. Nice reflections.
If you havent already been, i highly recommend Himeji castle. Its magnificent. They filmed alot of the 007 movie You Only Live Twice there.

@Stu: Yes, I agree. It's my favorite castle ever. I visited there last year.
