Akechi Castle is located in Akechi-cho in Ena Gifu Prefecture. Akechi is the supposed birthplace of the famed Akechi Mitsuhide. The castle at Akechi is ruins and there isn't anything remaining. There are sign posts along the way with information in both English and Japanese that explain the history of the castle and surrounding area of Akechi. From the castle ruins you get a nice view of Akechi primary and Akechi middle school.

Akiyoshi Cave 秋芳洞 (Akiyoshidai Quasi-National Park, Yamaguchi Prefecture)
Akiyoshi Cave is the largest limestone cave in all of Japan and it is really cool. I've been to a lot of limestone caves in Japan and this is by far the most impressive. Even if you don't do any proper mountain hiking in the park, I really recommend this one.

Azuchi Castle 安土城 (Shiga Prefecture)
Azuchi Castle was one of the most important castles in Japanese history. It has since been destroyed and all that is left are some walls. But the hike around the mountain and the attached museum and shrine are more than worth visiting. As you hike up and around the mountain, you can learn about Oda Nobunaga, one of the greatest warlords in all of Japanese history.
