Uwajima Castle — Attraction in Uwajima

visiting Uwajima Castle during cherry blossoms season is worth it, one of the best castle in japan, the view from above was stunning, I tried to go inside of castle, first you need to pay 200 yen it's worth the price remember japan you need to try everything, inside there was a Samurai armour, a history of this place, an old castle built in century, you can take a picture inside,

outside the castle you can see the cherry blossom tree,

entrance there is a locker if you want to leave you things, just insert 100 yen and when you comeback you can take it again, I was amazed

walking on top is not easy, but there is a two way going on top, the finished cement and the shortcut way but more difficult

refreshing when you reach the castle, but remember to...

The keep was already closed when I visited in the early evening, but the fact that it is one of Japan's remaining original castles probably makes it worth taking a look inside. The castle was originally located on the sea before land reclamation projects extended...

Original castle donjon with great views of the surrounding area. It's a climb to the top and if you approach from the wrong direction, you might have trouble finding the bottom of the path (but if you're coming from the train station, you're okay!).

The castle is small and has three stories. Admission is 200 yen for adults and 100 yen for children. There is not much to see in the castle, but it is worth the cheap admission price for the additional city and harbour views.

Don't forget to get a picture of the castle with a mountain background in mid-day. Best time to view is in cherry...
