古代山城屋嶋城
It is a mountain castle built by Emperor Nakano-o'eno（Historical figures known to all Japanese） in preparation for the invasion of the Tang Dynasty and Silla Dynasty, and stretching from Tsushima and Kyushu to the coast of the Seto Inland Sea.
It is an ancient mountain castle that made the best use of the precipitous cliffs, and about 90% of the castle walls are natural cliffs.
The powerful masonry and the view of Takamatsu city center are worth seeing. The view from the Nishi-one Observatory is also recommended.
