The castle is a place of many textures. Stones and bamboo ...

Matsuyama Castle stands on a steep hill in a moated park in the middle of the city. Even if you don't have time to go inside the castle itself, a stroll through the park and a hike up the hill is plenty rewarding. There are always interesting birds, and the views of the castle and the town below are spectacular.
