Joel and I were able to hike up to the Kintai Castle. It was awesome - it was paved most of the way which made it a little easier, but we were still huffing and puffing. We were encouraged though because a lot of older Japanese women were trucking it up the side of the mountain, so if they can do it, we can do it. That thinking got us up to the top. :) There were some beautiful sights and neat shrines that we didn't see when we took the lift up to the castle last fall. Anyone who comes to visit is getting this tour:

Your comment about the older women speeding up the hill reminded me of a funny comic I came across. Thought you might enjoy it as well:
