Imabari Castle
今治城
One of Japan's three great sea castles, built by Todo Takatora in 1604. Ocean water fills the moats and the castle's sea-gate once connected directly to the Seto Inland Sea. The reconstructed keep and three surviving turrets (National Important Cultural Properties) are impressive.
