About Matsuyama

Matsuyama is located in Shikoku, the smallest of the four main islands of Japan. Facing the tranquil and beautiful Seto Inland Sea, the region has a pleasant climate – mild throughout the year with little rainfall. With the sea to the west and mountains to the east, it’s a place that offers both the conveniences of a city and the slow pace of the countryside. Please see the Website for Tourism Matsuyama (in English).

Dogo Onsen (spa) and Matsuyama Castle (aerial photography and Wikipedia) are above all famous places in Matsuyama. In north of Matsuyama, there is an expressway called Simanami Kaido consisting of a 60 kilometer-long highway and 10 bridges connected to Honshu. Deserve to be visited!!
