Matsuyama Castle, Japan

Spectacular and expansive castle complex sitting about the town. The castle grounds contains lots of informative signs that give context for the building and the reconstruction work that went on after the castle was struck by lightning in the 18th century.

The castle building itself contains lots of interesting and interactive exhibits, including armour, artefacts and weapons. English translations are detailed and easily visible. Even if not interested in the history, the view from the top of the main keep is worth the climb. #japantrip
