Among Japan's Top 100 Castles, Takeda Castle in Hyogo Prefecture is renowned as the "Castle in the Sky" for its breathtaking view atop a hill, often appearing to float above a sea of clouds in autumn. But can this beautiful sea of clouds actually be sold? According to a report by the Asahi Shimbun Chinese website, this "sea of clouds" will be bottled and go on limited sale at specialty stores starting December 1.

According to the report, the special product was conceived by the sightseeing bus company "Chuodo Bus," which claims that two "sea of clouds artisans" climb Takeda Castle every morning to collect the "sea of clouds" using a special technique. The "Sea of Clouds Bottle" has a capacity of 500 ml and is priced at 300 yen (tax excluded).
