Matsuyama Castle

Reviewed By BendigoVic - Victoria, Australia

We throughly enjoyed our time spent at Matsuyama Castle, its a long climb but certainly well worth it when you get there and the views are spectacular. The castle remains in its original state which is astonishing given it was built in the 1600s, Just getting there on the chair lift or the cable car is an adventure in itself if you have young children. Its a must visit if you are in the area.

Imabari Castle

Reviewed By BZimm08 - Iwakuni, Japan

The Imabari Castle is so neat. I came here at dusk and waited around until night to see the castle lit up, it was well worth seeing. The moat that surrounds the castle is beautiful, you can see the reflection beautifully. The castle grounds are nice to, there are temples on the grounds, statues, and a museum. I did not have a chance to visit the inside of the main tower, but I hope to come back. The Imabari Castle is one of my favorites in Japan and definitely worth visiting.

Uwajima Castle

Reviewed By Rick28200 - San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Spain

Though it small, it is one of the original castles of Japan. The view from there could not be better. It is worth the climbing. I parked at the entrance and it was pretty affordable (200¥)
