Matsuyama is located on an island
of the main island of Japan. It is called Ehime. There are
two ways to get there. One is
VERY expensive which is the Ferry the other is train. The ferry if you
take the hydro-ferry thing (3 hours) is Au$100. Which stupidly I went by,
but only on the way there. Here I visted Matsuyama castle and went travelling
over a lot of islands or something.
Oh and went into a temple named
THE DECENT INTO HELL........Which I will talk about further down. Oh at
the castle, it is situated high on a hill (stood a lonely goat herder)
umm and you can look over the whole of Matsuyama which is very nice.

Okay I know I got your interest.
Yes this place my friend took me too was commonly known as the decent into
hell. Now I thought hmm interesting, until we went in it. It is an underground
cave thing right (now I'm not so fond of caves!). What you do is you walk
into this hill and start the decent well into hell, on the way down are
like mini statues carved into the walls, and pictures of sins (which if
you do, you go to hell) anyways I ended up walking as fast as I can thru
the thing but it was really interesting.
When you get to the bottom there
is like a water feature thing and all around are statues of well godly
figures. Then you start on the journey back up and walk out of the bottom
of the picture below! IT IS HUGE!!!
