Mountain View of Takahashi and Bitchu Matsuyama Castle | The Real Japan
Mountain View of Takahashi and Bitchu Matsuyama Castle in Okayama Prefecture | The Real Japan | HD
Bitchū Matsuyama is a castle found in the Chugoku region of Japan, not far from the city of Takahashi, on the main island of Honshu. The castle is relatively modest by Japanese castle standards, it is in fine condition (having been extensively repaired by a citizen’s restoration group established in 1929). Moreover, the ascent to it up through the steep, winding mountain forest path, with its wild monkeys and expansive views, is a major part of its appeal.

Canals and Castles | Cinematic Japan Travel Vlog: Bitchu Matsuyama Castle and Kurashiki (Day 7 & 8)
Continuing our Japan Trip, we travel to the Okayama Prefecture to explore Bitchu Matsuyama Castle and Kurashiki.
On the first day of our Japan Travel Vlog, as traveling the Oki Islands was rather inconvenient during the off-season, we decided to instead venture to the Okayama prefecture, where we stayed overnight. But before that, I decided to finally fly my drone around the Oki Island Port at sunrise to get some nice cinematic drone footage. Afterwards, we took a ferry and bus to Okayama where we stayed overnight. The next day, we set out to explore the famous Bitchu Matsuyama Castle, also known as the castle in the sky, because of the fog that can be seen in the mornings between September and March each year. Unfortunately, the castle is not easily accessible and you have to take two buses and walk quite long to reach it. However, at the top there were beautiful Japanese Autumn Colors, which I took some great drone footage of. We explored the castle, which is one of twelve Japanese original castles (for my explanation on original castles, you can check out day 3 of our travel vlog here). Even though it is difficult to get to the castle, I can definitely recommend it to anyone who is in the area!
Continuing, we ventured further into the Okayama prefecture to a nice and small canal town called Kurashiki. As we were there on a Sunday, Kurashiki felt a bit touristy but nevertheless was a nice typical Japanese town with a canal running through it. Lined up, there were old warehouses which now house shops selling Japanese snacks, souvenirs and other trinkets.
Later we went out for dinner to a local fish restaurant and prepared for our next day trip to Matsuyama in Ehime Prefecture, Shikoku.

บรรยากาศสวยงาม ที่ปราสาทบิทชู มัทสึยามะ (Bitchu-Matsuyama Castle) ในจังหวัดโอคายาม่า (Okayama) ในช่วงใบไม้เปลี่ยนสีกับอากาศดีๆ ของที่นี่ ซึ่งเราต้องเดินขึ้นไปบนภูเขาประมาณ 800 เมตร ก่อนที่จะถึงตัวปราสาทบิทชู มัทสึยามะ สองข้างทางก็จะเห็นวิวมุมสูงพร้อมทิวทัศน์ต่างๆ ซึ่งปราสาทแห่งนี้เป็นปราสาทหลังเดิมที่เก่าแก่ที่สุดของญี่ปุ่น ที่ยังคงหลงเหลือจนถึงปัจจุบัน ตั้งอยู่บนยอดเขาสูงถึง 430 เมตร เป็นปราสาทตั้งอยู่สูงที่สุดในญี่ปุ่นอีกด้วย เหตุต้องตั้งอยู่บนที่สูงแบบนี้ เพราะในอดีตเป็นป้อมปราการจึงต้องอยู่บนที่สูง เพื่อป้องกันข้าศึกและยากต่อการโจมตีค่ะ
การเดินทาง แนะนำให้ใช้บริการรถแท็กซี่จะได้สะดวกที่สุดค่ะ หรือจากสถานีรถไฟบิทชูทาคาฮาชิ (Bitchu-Takahashi) ให้นั่งแท็กซี่ต่อไปลงที่ลานจอดรถด้านบนสุด ซึ่งอยู่ห่างกันประมาณ 2 กิโลเมตร แล้วเดินต่อประมาณ 20 นาที ถ้านั่งรถบัส สามารถนั่งไปลงที่ป้าย Matsuyamajo Tozanguchi อยู่ห่างจากปราสาทประมาณ 1 กิโลเมตรค่ะ

Offbeat Japan: Takeda Castle (竹田城跡)
The Takeda Castle, constructed on a mountain at 353 meters of altitude, is one of the top hundred famous castles in Japan.
In autumn when the sky is clear, fog can be seen early in the morning. The view is such that the castle can be seen surrounded by a sea of clouds, thus resembling a castle floating in the sky.

Japan Trip: Matsuyama Castle Looks like it's floating in the sky Okayama 02 Moopon
Matsuyama Castle oldest surviving castle located 430meters above from sea level As if the castle floating in the sky Takahashi, Okayama, Japan 02 Moopon
Matsuyama Castle (松山城, Matsuyamajō), also known Bitchu-Matsuyama Castle to differentiate it from Matsuyama Castle in Shikoku, stands on a steep mountain north of Takahashi's town center. It is the oldest surviving castle in Japan and the only mountaintop castle among the twelve original castles which have survived the post-feudal age intact. At an elevation of 430 meters it is also Japan's highest.
Matsuyama Castle was originally constructed in 1240 when castles primarily served as defensive fortresses and, accordingly, were built on steep mountains that were difficult to attack. They were not the great status symbols and administrative and cultural centers yet that castles became in the 16th century when the lords started to build them on more easily accessible hilltops and in the flatlands. Even today, Matsuyama Castle is not easily accessed, and visitors must hike for about 20 minutes to reach the castle keep from the nearest parking lot. The approach passes the ruined foundations of former castle structures and then leads through multiple successive circles of defense before reaching the innermost castle grounds and the castle keep. Views over the town can be enjoyed from several points along the way, but not from the castle keep itself.
Typical for mountaintop castles, Matsuyama Castle's keep is with only two stories relatively small. Inside the keep there are displays explaining the history of the castle and the efforts to preserve it in Japanese, including interesting photographs about the big renovations of 1940, 1960 and 2003.
By car
On weekdays, cars can access the castle's upper parking lot from where it is a 20 minute walk to the castle. On weekends and holidays from March to late December, however, private cars are only allowed as far as the lower parking lot from where it is a 45 minute walk or five minute shuttle bus ride (300 yen round trip, departures every 15 minutes) to the upper parking lot.
By taxi
Take a taxi from Bitchu-Takahashi Station to the castle's upper parking lot (15 minutes, 1500 yen from the station) from where it is an additional 600 meter, 20 minute hike to the castle.
Alternatively, from March to November Takahashi Kanko operates four scheduled shuttle taxis per day between the station and the upper parking lot for 430 yen one way per person. Reservations are required, but can be made upon arrival at the station.
By bus
Take the Youme Town Shuttle Bus (100 yen) or Takahashi City Loop Bus (160 yen) from the Takahashi Bus Center next to Bitchu-Takahashi Station to Matsuyamajo Tojoguchi or Matsuyamajo Tozanguchi bus stop respectively, from where it is a two kilometer, one hour climb to the castle.
On foot
It takes about 80 minute to walk all the way from Bitchu-Takahashi Station to Matsuyama Castle.
Hours: 9:00 to 17:30 (until 16:30 from October to March)
Closed: December 28 to January 4
Admission: 300 yen (castle only)
900 yen (castle, Raikyuji Temple, two samurai mansions and Takahashi Historical Museum)
