  • Imabari Castle - Though it is officially classified as a rinkakushiki, a flatland castle, but because its wide moat is fed by the nearby sea, Imabari Castle is also one of the "three great water castles".  Imabari Castle was built in 1602 by Todo Takatora, widely considered to be the greatest Japanese castle builder. Of the great castles he built:  Edo in Tokyo and Nijo Castle in Kyoto, - were built for others, Imabari he built for   himself.  One of Todo's innovations  here was building wide moats for extra protection from firearms. The moat at Imabari Castle could also have the water level raised or lowered by a series of sluice gates.

  • Taisanji Temple is number 56 on the Shikoku pilgrimage, where women come to pray for giving birth painlessly.  The characters that are used to write the name of the temple have the same pronunciation as the characters for “Easy Birth Temple” and women come here to pray for giving birth painlessly.  In addition to being a holy man, Kukai was an accomplished civil engineer, and when he visited here the local people were troubled by a river that tended to flood and carry people away. Kukai supervised the construction of embankments.  In 1881, the bell tower was rebuilt using timbers from the drum hall of Imabari Castle.
