服装・装備 (1)
Should I wear easy-to-walk clothes and shoes?
The mountain trail from Fuigo Pass to the keep is maintained and can be walked in sneakers, but since it is a mountain path, we recommend wearing comfortable clothes and easy-to-walk shoes. If you plan to explore the medieval castle site area (Mount Oomatsu), more serious hiking equipment will be necessary.
看點 (3)
When can you see the sea of clouds?
In the early morning from mid-October to around March, when weather conditions align, you can enjoy the spectacular sight of the keep appearing above the sea of clouds. Viewing from the cloud sea observation point (mid-slope of Mount Gyagyuu) is recommended. It is said to occur most easily when it is cold the previous day and clear on the morning in question.
Has it been used as a filming location for a historical drama?
Yes. It was used as a filming location for the NHK historical drama "Sanada Maru" (broadcast in 2016).
What is the cat lord Sanjuuro?
This refers to a cat named "Sanjuuro," known as the official cat lord of Bitchu Matsuyama Castle. It sometimes lives near the main citadel and is said to bring good fortune if you meet it. However, since its whereabouts are unpredictable, you may not see it.
