Bitchu Matsuyama Castle is considered the highest castle above sea level in Japan. This castle is one of the originals and well worth a visit. There is a parking lot before the castle. Unfortunately visitors must either walk the road up or take a shuttle which is 400 Yen, I chose to walk the road, it was not that long and pretty easy. I really liked this castle, it's smaller then others. I found it unique how the builders used the environment (hills and rocks) to construct the castle, it's evident how this was done. I recommend the small fee to enter the castle. We are cat lovers so the highlight for us was Sanjuro, the cat. He made his way up here due to flooding in the area years ago and has been the local mascot since, so cute!

An azuki bean island and Naoshima can overlook from the summit of the mountain which overlooks the Uno harbor which connects Shikoku and Naoshima to Honshu under its view, and the appearance like Kousyouzn and best Takashi Inari are deified on the hill at the back. From Uno Station and the Uno harbor, it is like on foot 10 minute.
