Matsuyama & Osaka Trip (Matsuyama Day 2 Part 1)

Went up to Matsuyama castle and was expecting to ride by the rope-way. We saw the waiting time was 10 minutes away and there was another option; chairlift! Looked so fun yet dangerous haha! My palm was sweating, it was until halfway the journey I realised that there were safety wire underneath that I felt better. According to Japan guide, the castle 松山城 said to be one of the castle that survived since 1868. Worth going up and must try the chair lift! 

Matsuyama city restaurants is very affordable, our tempura lunch was only 600 yen, we can't even find that price in our countryside.
