Artistic portrayals of heaven and hell are separated by a pair of charming corridors that run through this 1,300-year-old temple.

One of the 88 shrines of the Shikoku Pilgrimage, this quiet temple has an array of traditional prayer halls, pagodas, statues and a koi pond.

A temple and park with a slide and scenic vegetation provide relief from the commercial streets and transportation hubs making up the city center.

The dark, angled slates and glass panels create a stylish building to house a museum based on a novel dear to Matsuyama locals.

Experience aristocratic lifestyles and browse art displays while wandering between the elegant rooms of a French-style château on the grounds of Matsuyama Castle.

Admire a bird’s-eye view of lush greenery, mountains and Matsuyama’s cityscape while riding in a gondola or an open-sided chairlift to the city’s feudal castle.
