My first stop after crossing over onto Shikoku was in Matsuyama city. I didn’t realize how big of a city Matsuyama was before going there. There’s a big shopping street with lots to see and do. The castle in Matsuyama is also very magnificent. I didn’t get any pictures of the castle (oops), but I did get some great pictures of the city from the mountain that the castle is on. It’s a beatiful area right in the middle of the city!
