A prefecture of contrasts

by salisbury3933 - last update: Oct 29, 2007

Ehime

Matsuyama Castle during the cherry blossom season
Ehime is made up of three separate areas, Nanyo, the southern part of the prefecture, Chuyo, the central part, and Toyo, the Eastern part of the prefecture. Each of them has their own flavour, with Toyo being heavily industrial, Chuyo heavily commercial, and Nanyo heavily agricultural.

Some of the Islands in the Inland Sea are also part of Ehime prefecture are well worth seeing as well.

Matsuyama is the main city, with a population of about 500,000, but there's more to see. Uchiko is a small town well worth visiting, and Uwajima has its attractions as well.
Masaki

My ties to Ehime

My wife is from Ehime, so I head back there regularly.

She's from Masaki, a small town just next to Matsuyama itself.
Shimanami Kaido

The Shimanami Kaido

From Imabari is the Shimanami Kaido, a string of bridges between Shikoku and Honshu.

Whilst the economics behind building this road were shoddy at best, there are some spectacular sights, and some excellent engineering on show.
