The other day, I had the opportunity to go to Shikoku, which is made up of the Ehime, Kochi, Kagawa and Tokushima Prefectures.
In the centre of Matsuyama city in Ehime Prefecture you’ll find Matsuyama Caste, perched on top of Mt. Katsuyama, towering over the surrounding area.
It was built by Kato Yoshiaki who was one of the Seven Spears in the battle of Shizugatake.
There are ropeways and lifts for tourists, so the inner citadel is easily accessible.
At the top of the mountain you can also enjoy the beautiful fresh air and superb views.
