Matsuyama Castle

The 132m tall Mt. Katsuyama is located in the center of Matsuyama City, and features a flatland-mountain-style castle at its summit. The castle is one of only twelve castles built in the 1600s that are still standing today. In spring, the castle festival is held, and all the local people come to the park. The castle offers a free opportunity to try on a suit of armor, so why not give it a try?
