Original Text

I recognized the place called Mihara via St. Thomas Kozaki, so I was impressed that it was so important and highly evaluated. However, for those who do not know the saints, it is only a statue standing in front of the stone wall of Mihara Castle Funairi turret. However, it is a comfortable place because it is in good condition. The stone wall behind the statue stands is also exposed to the bedrock before the castle was built, so it is a place you definitely want to stop by.
