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!

Although it looks like a typical castle in Japan that tells its history and shows valuable objects, with its black appearance and the Okayama City & beautiful Korakuen Garden viewpoint above is a difference that must be visited. There are also rental services for ancient noble clothes, photo spots inside the building and entrance tickets included the Castle and Korakuen Garden sold at a reasonable price.
