We had fun storming Matsuyama Castle


Matsuyama Castle is, surprise, on top of a hill. There were three options to get to the top.  Walking, cable car


Or chair lift. Most of us took this option.



As you can see, the chair life is just that. A chair. No seat belt, no security bar. Just a hard plastic chair.

Construction on the castle began in the early 1600s.



Storming the castle


Well

Even castles get mascots in Japan 

More stamps


The main tower was destroyedby lightening in 1784.



Parts of the castle underwent reconstruction in 1820.



Inside the castle were many artifacts on display

I like that this is called an imaginary fish. 

Views from the top


You cans see out to see sea




And of course, most of us opted for the chair life going down. It was scary!



I stopped by to visited the swans in the moat.
