Riding Up to History – A Lift Adventure to Matsuyama Castle

#cityplaybook Looking for a fun way to reach a Japanese castle? In Matsuyama, you don’t just walk—you ride a lift up the mountainside to one of the best-preserved castles in Japan! The ride to Matsuyama Castle is half the fun. Gliding through the trees with nothing but air beneath your feet, it’s a little thrilling—but totally worth it for the view at the top. Once you arrive, the castle itself is stunning. Towering over the city with stone walls and sweeping views, it’s full of history and beauty. And just below the castle lies Shiroyama Park, a peaceful green space perfect for a post-castle stroll. Why I recommend Matsuyama Castle: ・The lift ride adds a unique twist to a classic sightseeing experience ・You get gorgeous views, rich history, and nature—all in one spot 📍Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture, Japan #matsuyamacastle #ehime #castlelift #uniqueviews #historicjapan #shiroyamapark #japantravel #mountaintopmoments #cityguide #hiddengems
