Walking Tour of Bitchu Takahashi Castle Town

Takahashi City is the castle town of Bitchu Matsuyama Castle, known as the 'Castle in the Sky,' and its charm lies in historic townscapes that preserve the atmosphere of the Edo period. Samurai residence streets, merchant townscapes, and the borrowed landscape garden of Raikyuji Temple are all within walking distance. From autumn through early winter mornings, you can witness the fantastic sight of Bitchu Matsuyama Castle floating above a sea of clouds—many fans photograph it from the observation deck. This castle town is ideal for a historical walking tour, where you can also enjoy local cuisine such as Takahashi black tea and Bitchu beef.
