From Otowa castle, I walked back to visit the site of Hino castle. To the locals, and on the signs, it is better known as Nakanojō. This was more a let down, since only a small part of the castle, were 2 shrines are, remain. The rest has been urbanised. There is a bus stop not too far. The name of it is Hinokawadamuguchi. I had to wait 40 minutes for the next bus, so I decided to walk back to the station on the main street of Hino. It's about 4.5km. This street or Hinoshonin-kaidō, is a very picturesque road. There are lots of old houses. Temples and shrines, some very old, are lining up.
