Pictures from the Castle

Only photos today. We visited Matsuyama Castle yesterday, walked way more than we should have, and had some wheat-free yakitori at the end of the day.

The view from the top of the castle.

The walls, from below.

The door-less first gate.

A glimpse of the maze of gates from above.

The haiku post. I didn't bring any poems with me.

A suikinkutsu. Dripping water makes a musical sound that you can hear if you put your ear to the end of the curved bamboo pipe.
