RE: Matsuyama-jō Castle, Takamatsu, Japan
Beautiful photos of a very interesting castle. I like the way it is partially hidden in the woods. I wonder what it would have been like to live there...

I wonder, indeed! As I said in the article, wandering around on your own is almost like stepping back into the past and gives a good impression of what it might have been like to live there at the time. However, I expect there would have been many, many more people around, and the atmosphere would have been far less peaceful (it was originally a military installation, after all!).
