Activity
Take in spectacular views of the Matsuyama Cherry Blossom Corridor
This unique row of cherry blossom trees can only be enjoyed from a small, open-top bus (a covered bus will be used in case of rain).
Visit Matsuyama Castle—one of Japan's 12 remaining castle keeps!
There are 12 castles in Japan with original castle keeps dating back to before the Edo period (1603-1868), and Matsuyama Castle is one of them, renowned for its cherry blossoms.
Enjoy the cherry blossoms at Dogo Park—the former site of Yuzuki Castle!
Dogo Park is home to a traditional yugama kettle, once used to draw water from the source of Dogo Onsen, Japan's oldest hot spring. The park is also famous for its cherry blossoms, and during the season, you can enjoy local delicacies from various food stalls, adding to the vibrant atmosphere.
Matsuyama Spring Festival (Castle Festival)
Matsuyama Spring Festival (Castle Festival) will be held on the second floor of the ropeway station with a baseball game on April 5 and a Matsuyama Castle Tea Party (JPY 400 for a tea ticket) on April 6.
