Sunomata One-night Castle － 墨俣一夜城

Sunomata one-night castle is in Gifu pref. knows as Hideyoshi Toyotomi built it only a night by the order of Nobunaga Oda. Hyotan(calabash) is Hideyoshi's symbol.
（墨俣一夜城は岐阜にあり、豊臣秀吉が織田信長の命により一夜で築いたお城として有名。ひょうたんは秀吉のシンボルです。よく馬印とかにひょうたん模様があります）

Its a bit of personal that I don't want to write about here. but...grrrr. Im sooooo stressed out with someone at the office at the mo. However, less than 10days....then my mind will be a little bit in peace....hopefully. and no need to share with lunchtime with girly group anymore....

However, flowers in mind....deep breath deep breath.　（こんなときこそ、心に花を！深呼吸、深呼吸）

Ogaki Castle － 大垣城

This castle isn't on 100 castles guidebook. Its kinda miner one. Its near Ogaki station,Gifu pref. takes 10 to 15 mins walk. However, in my impression, Ogaki city is look like really quiet and poor city. So many shops were out of business around the station. kinda surprised. (大垣城は日本名城100には入ってない、マイナーなお城です。大垣駅から歩いて10分～15分くらい。私の印象では、大垣市は駅の周りのお店も廃業してて、かなり・・・なところで、ちょっとびっくり。）

Its under construction....!!?? I couldn't see the castle's surface appearance sadly...（工事中で外観が見えなかった・・・）

supposed to see like this!（こんな風に見られるはず・・・だった！）

Matsuzaka Caslte ruin ― 松阪城址

One of my attempt is visiting over 100 castles in Japan. This ruin is in Mie pref, is known for great stone walls. （私のある一つの企ては、名城100に選ばれたお城をめぐることです。この城址は石垣で有名。）

Btw, I got new SLR. woohoo!! taken by Pentax k-x which is really lovely camera.

Only stone walls are remain.（石垣だけ残ってます）

Here is also a popular spot for cherry blossoms. unfortunetaly Trees weren't bloom when I went but this tree. tried color setting.（ここはサクラで有名なスポット。私が行ったときは、残念ながらこれしか咲いてなかったです。）
