Built in 1590 along the shores of the Seto Inland Sea, Takamatsu Castle—also known as Tamamo Castle—is celebrated as one of Japan's three great coastal water castles. Visitors can stroll along seawater moats that draw directly from the ocean, framing historic turrets, traditional gates, and peaceful park grounds. Once a vital stronghold ruled by the Ikoma and Matsudaira clans, this seaside fortress offers a tranquil glimpse into samurai heritage and maritime architecture.
