A low mountain is in the center of Matsuyama City and wa selected for the site for Matsuyama Castle. So this castle stands on the summit of that mountain. Originally constructed in 1627, the castle consists of three-storied donjon (tower) and other structures surrounded by stone walls (called "Ishigaki"), eight traditional entrance gates and the moat surrounding the foot of the mountain. Offering a beautiful view of the central part of the city, the castle attracts lots of tourists and the residents of local and nearby towns all the year round.

As soaking in a soothing hot spring bath is the great fun for typical Japanese people, this natural hot spring is the symbol of leisure spot. Holding a vestige of good old days, the 3-tiered "Sanso-Ro" Dogo Onsen wooden building structure houses different types of baths provided, one is just soaking yourself in the bath and others, relaxing in Japanse Yukata bathrobe and relaxing on the second floor after the bath with tea and a sweet cake. By whichever case you choose, you can feel a typical Japanese way of relaxation.
