Matsuyama Castle

#hellohalloween
Japan is home to countless castles, but Matsuyama Castle stands out as a true gem. 🏯✨

Perched atop a 132-meter bluff in the heart of Matsuyama City, the castle offers panoramic views of the surrounding cityscape and hills—an ideal vantage point for would-be defenders of old.

Its main keep is one of only twelve original wooden spires still intact in Japan, making it a rare and historically significant site. Inside, you can explore well-preserved interiors, samurai artifacts, and exhibits detailing the castle’s storied past.

For easy access, a ropeway carries visitors straight to the top, letting you enjoy the view without breaking a sweat while still preserving the thrill of ascending a historic fortress.

📍 Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture
