Taiho-ji is a Buddhist temple on the western side of Matsuyama's city center, a modest distance from the castle hill. The temple's grounds offer some quiet greenery and traditional architecture without the crowds you might find at more famous sites.
It is a neighborhood temple rather than a major destination, but worth knowing about if you are looking for a moment of calm away from the main tourist circuit. The nearby streets give a sense of everyday Matsuyama away from the tourist center.
