A mysterious world unfolded deep in the unknown mountains.

📍Kadono-sato Tsubaki no Shiro

Actually, it was built as a playground in 1996, but it doesn't seem to have been used much, with only occasional events being held there, so most people probably don't know about it.

Further beyond the Kadono Dam in Samukawa-cho, Sanuki City, there is a beautiful bridge called Kadono Bridge, right next to Camellia Onsen.

This bridge is also very artistic, but once you cross the bridge, you'll see an even more mysterious building.

Castle of Camellias.
The moment I saw it, I was reminded of the Ghibli film "Castle in the Sky" directed by Hayao Miyazaki.
I wonder if there are camellias planted on the roof (rooftop?) of the building, and this looks like a pretty impressive castle.

The design, which looks like a combination of cubes, and the stairs and entrance to the building make it seem like a castle from another world. I had a fun time just looking around the exterior!
