Shikano was the seat of the Kamei family in the Sengoku period, and the street plan they laid out is still there — a grid of narrow lanes with the inner and outer moats of the castle surviving as water. It is a very small town in the hills south-west of Tottori city, quiet to the point of being sleepy, and it has none of the visitor infrastructure that Kurayoshi has.

The castle site is now a park, and in April its five hundred somei-yoshino come out around the moats and are lit at night, so that the trees and the walls repeat themselves in the water. Outside that fortnight the town is essentially empty. Parking is free, the hot spring at Hamamura is ten minutes away, and it is the sort of place you stop at because you were driving past rather than because anyone told you to.

独家私藏情报

**April is the fortnight.** Five hundred cherry trees around the moats, lit at night, reflected in the water. For the other fifty weeks this is a quiet grid of lanes. **Walk the moats.** Both the inner and outer moats survive as water, which is unusual for a castle site of this size, and following them is the way to read the plan. **There is very little open.** A few small businesses and craft workshops. Do not plan on lunch without checking. **Hamamura Onsen is ten minutes away.** Which is the natural pairing and where the accommodation is. **Free parking for a hundred.** Which tells you what the cherry blossom fortnight looks like and what the rest of the year does not.
