At the 川之江城跡 (Kawanoe Castle Ruins), photographers can frame the “幸福のハート石” (Heart Stone) against stonework, castle-ruin textures, and surrounding greenery. Soft morning light reduces harsh shadows; autumn foliage and spring blossoms add color. The site is compact, making it easy to explore on foot—ideal for a quick, low-crowd stop near Shikokuchuo.
