Matsuyama Castle, Historic castle site in Yoshimi, Japan.
Matsuyama Castle stands atop Mount Katsuyama with three circular defense areas, stone walls, watchtowers, and original architectural elements from the Edo period.
Construction began in 1602 under Kato Yoshiaki's direction, and the castle remained under Matsudaira family control from 1635 until Japan's feudal period ended.
The castle grounds include exhibition spaces containing artifacts and documents that detail the development of regional military architecture and feudal governance systems.
Visitors can access the castle using a ropeway or chairlift from Okaido station, with operating hours from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and admission fees of 520 yen.
The castle maintains its original tenshu tower and six watchtowers, making it one of only twelve Japanese castles that preserved authentic feudal-era structures.
