Matsuyama Castle

The Matsuyama Castle is impressive and well worth visiting. It is one of Japans original castles and probably one of my favorites. You can either walk here or take a lift up, I walked and man it was steep. Once at the top the castle complex is large. I paid to enter the main keep, which was well worth it. This castle actually has some items on display to see like armor and weapons. Once you arrive at the top of the keep you get phenomenal views of the city of Matsuyama. This castle was bigger then I expected, I really enjoyed it and highly recommend everyone to visit. I want to come here again in 2024. #2024wish

Matsuyama1 is a perfect city for a citywalk in Japan

Matsuyama1 is a perfect city for a citywalk in Japan to go on holiday Japan has many small and exquisite cities, all of which are suitable for citywalk day trips. Today, let's recommend a small city that is perfect for a day trip - Matsuyama. Here you can find the Dogo Onsen, the prototype of the bathhouse in 'Spirited Away', and one of the 'Twelve Castles' in Japan, Matsuyama Castle. When you visit the small cities in Japan, you must reserve a seat for Matsuyama! Dogo Onsen This is the prototype of the bathhouse in 'Spirited Away', with a history of three thousand years. It is one of the three ancient springs in Japan and a folk hot spring where the Japanese Emperor would bathe. It is divided into the main hall and the annex. It is still a public hot spring open to the public. You can also buy tickets to visit the place where the Emperor bathes. Of course, the most important thing is to check in its architecture, after all, it is the original location of 'Spirited Away'. Let's recommend some good framing positions -At the entrance of the hot spring, you can shoot small scenes. The typical Japanese ancient architecture is very characteristic -On one side of the hot spring, there is a foot bath on the second floor. Here you can enjoy a free foot bath while overlooking the entire Dogo Onsen. It is quite shocking -Across the road from the main entrance of the hot spring, you can also take a panoramic view of the Dogo Onsen main hall from here. It is recommended to come early in the morning to shoot, there are not many cars on the road, it is easy to shoot Enmanji Temple A small temple located in modern urban architecture, famous for concluding marriages. The temple is full of colorful hair knot beads, which are said to be very effective. Many girls go to pray. The temple is small but exquisite and cute. It is very suitable to wear a bathrobe from the hotel and take a set of beautiful photos. Kai Izoribo Shrine An important cultural heritage of Japan, it is one of the only three Hachiman-zukuri in Japan. You have to go through a long stone steps to reach it. From a distance, the stone steps and the orange-red shrine at the end are very spectacular. You can stand on the stone steps and take a photo with the shrine, which is very nice. Matsuyama Castle One of the 'Twelve Castles' in Japan, very old, built on the top of Matsuyama in the center of Matsuyama City, 132 meters high, it is the landmark of the entire Matsuyama City. You can take a cable car up and down, and you can see the cityscape of the entire Matsuyama City from the castle. Have an Ehime orange ice cream on the top of the mountain, or a glass of orange juice from the unique water pipe in Ehime, which is also a must-do in Matsuyama Castle. Suggestions for citywalk day trip itinerary: Stay in a hot spring hotel near Dogo Onsen, take a comfortable bath in the hotel at night, and you can go straight to Dogo Onsen in the bathrobe of the hotel early the next morning. It is recommended to go before the hot spring opens, with fewer people and cars, and it is more convenient to frame with the building. Then walk to Enmanji Temple, it can be finished in about half an hour, and then walk to Izoribo Shrine, which is very close and can be reached on foot. Then go back to the hotel for a comfortable breakfast. After checking out, you can stroll around the Dogo Onsen shopping street and buy some souvenirs from Ehime and Matsuyama. In the afternoon, take a tram to Matsuyama Castle and get off at 'Okaido Station' and walk there.

松山城 - castle in the sky

Matsuyama Castle is in the city center of Matsuyama in Shikoku. It is easily accessible and there are many sign posts in the city that give clear directions. The castle was built in 1604 and Is one of the 12 castles in Japan with its original tenshu. Unlike most other castles in Japan, Matsuyama Castle is situated up in the hill ( Mount Katsuyama) and can be accessed by a rope way, chair lift, or hike thru the trail. It is a fun experience to take the chair lift for ¥510 round trip. Alternative you can choose to do a one way, and walk leisurely downhill. The castle ground and garden at the top is large and commands an excellent panoramic view of the city below. A short walk will lead to the castle entrance ( with fee). I think it is worthwhile to climb up the tenshu as it is one of the 12 remaining original tenshu. Everyone needs to change into slippers and leave their shoes in lockers before entering. There are 6 levels to climb and some of the wooden staircases are narrow and steep, although they are not long staircases. There are armors and swords on display, and even two sets of armors for visitors to try on and take photos free of charge. The only issue is that they are heavy and there are six pieces to the total outfit. It will take at least 15 minutes for one person to finish his round of fitting and photo shoot. Nonetheless it was fun for us to watch . It is definitely worthwhile to visit Matsuyama Castle while in Shikoku. The castle is opened from 9-5pm and the last ropeway is at 5:30pm. Reserve 2 - 3 hours to walk through the entire premise. #cityexplorer #Matsuyama #Castlesinjapan #shikoku

When it comes to traveling in Japan, most of them go to Hokkaido, Tokyo, Osaka, Nara and other places. In fact, many niche destinations in Japan are very worth visiting, such as Ehime County on Shikoku Island. The sea bream stuffed rice that I ate just now is the special delicacy here. The whole sea bream and rice are boiled together. Before serving the rice, all the fishbone/bones 🦴 will be picked out, and then mixed with rice evenly, and then served with side dishes and flavors Eat it together with Zengtang, I have eaten a lot of stuffy rice, I have to say it is really delicious. In addition, Ehime Prefecture is also rich in citrus, like a city surrounded by 🍊 [打泪笑笑] can see all kinds of food related to 🍊, including mascots are all related to citrus [呲牙] There is also Japan's very famous Dogo Onsen♨ which is the prototype of the oil house in "Spirited Away" and one of the oldest hot springs in Japan. To Ehime County, you can also go to: JR Shimonada Station: An unmanned station, facing the Seto Inland Sea, enjoying the tranquility of being alone. Shimanami Kaido Cycling Path: Wear light clothes, ride with the sea breeze, and enjoy the joy of outdoor sports. Matsuyama Castle Castle Tower: See the most romantic cherry blossoms in spring🌸.
