Perched dramatically atop Mount Katsuyama in the heart of the city, Matsuyama Castle is one of only twelve authentic feudal castles in Japan to survive intact into the modern era. Visitors can explore its intricate complex of defensive gates, stone ramparts, and multi-story keep while soaking in panoramic vistas across the cityscape to the shimmering Seto Inland Sea. In spring, the expansive grounds transform into a breathtaking canopy of soft pink as roughly 200 cherry trees burst into bloom.
