Bitchu Matsuyama, the castle on Mount Gagyu

Tue, July 18, 2017, by Muza-chan

Among the 12 surviving Japanese castles, Bitchū Matsuyama is the castle located at the highest elevation. The altitude is actually only 430 meters above sea level, but the path to the castle is quite steep and it takes a bit of energy to reach it. But the effort is well worth the experience!
