Uwajima Castle, originally built by Takatora Todo and later renovated by the Date clan, sits atop an 80-meter hill, offering panoramic views. The current structure, including the nationally designated Important Cultural Property castle tower, reflects the Date clan's modifications. Visitors should be prepared for a steep climb via stone steps to reach the castle. The castle keep is relatively small, but the elevated location provides stunning views of Uwajima city. Don't miss the impressive stonework and the remnants of the castle's water features. Allow at least 30 minutes to explore the castle grounds and enjoy the scenery. Open to visitors of all ages.
