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!

The Nishie Residence is the home of the Nishie family, which prospered through copper mining and the production of bengara pigment in the Fukiya area of Okayama Prefecture starting around 310 years ago. Built at the height of the Edo Period, the Nishie Residence is a valuable historical and cultural property that boasts five kura storehouses and retains its traditional Japanese design. The house has been continuously inhabited by the Nishie family, and remains their private home today. Lovingly maintained over generations, the Nishie Residence is a living, breathing example of Japanese architecture at its finest. Majestic and yet refined, it preserves its original splendor to the present day.
