Ninomaru Garden in Matsuyama

Address: 3 Chome-2-46 Okaido, Matsuyama, Ehime 790-0004, Japan Getting there: You can take train and stop at Otemachi Station. The Ninomaru garden is less than 10 minutes walk away. Highlights: The Ninomaru Garden lies at the southern base of Mount Katsuyama and comprises the former site of the second circle of defense (Ninomaru). It is more comfortably accessible from the city than the main circle of defense (Honmaru) at the top of the mountain, the Ninomaru served as the site of the castle palace where the lord's residence and offices were located. I am really impressed with the well-planned landscape in the Ninomaru garden. It gives me a very calm and peaceful vibe strolling around the garden. Opening hours: 9am to 5pm daily Admission fee: 200yen #bucketlistreboot #traveljapan #naturescapes
