Matsuyama Castle Hill Climb

Matsuyama is an ideal city for cycling with flat urban areas and moderately rolling terrain. A popular route is to rent a bicycle from rental stations located throughout the city and tour from Dogo Hot Springs to Matsuyama Castle and around JR Matsuyama Station. Particularly, the slopes leading to Matsuyama Castle offer a moderate challenge as a mini hill climb, with the views of the Matsuyama cityscape from the summit serving as a rewarding experience. The pleasant experience of cycling through the charming alleyways of the castle town has gained attention as a healthy travel style that combines sightseeing with fitness.
