    Ehime Pref. Saijoushi Nishinokawa Shimotani shell 81
    This rope-way cable car leads to the peak of Mt. Ishizuchi, western Japan's tallest sacred mountain. Starting from Shimodani Station at the foot of the mountain with an elevation of 455 meters, the cable car takes an eight-minute trip up to Joju Station at a height of 1300 meters. From the cable car you can look out over nature including the vast Kamegamori forest, and from Joju Station you can also see out to the Seto Inland Sea. As the cable car ascends, a cool breeze fills the car, even during the summer season, and there's a picnic area which has the Japanese Horned Beetle Dome, where you're almost guaranteed to see a horned beetle. During the summer and fall season they offer a popular Mt. Ishizuchi Star Night Tour, showing off the nightscapes and the starry heavens where you can take an exciting stroll under the stars.

    ロープウェイ乗場の近くに有料駐車場があります。寂れた観光地感はありますが、11月中旬は紅葉で素晴らしいロケーションでした。

    Ehime Pref. Matsuyamashi Minatomachi 5-1-1
    A giant Ferris wheel on the roof of the Iyotetsu Takashimaya department store located on top of the Iyo Railway's Matsuyama City Station. The Ferris wheel has a 45-meter diameter and a full rotation takes about 15 minutes. At its highest point, which includes the building below it, you'll be 106 meters above sea level, almost the same level as the peak station of the Matsuyama Castle Ropeway / Lift. Thanks to the few tall buildings surrounding it, you'll be able to enjoy amazing panoramic views including Matsuyama Castle to the north, Botchan Stadium to the south, and the Seto Inland Sea out to the west. Two of the 32 gondola cars are See-Through Gondolas, entirely paneled with transparent windows including the floor, giving you the sensation of floating through the air.

Ehime Areas

around-area-map

Stretched across the northwest corner of Shikoku island, Ehime is a nature-rich prefecture boasting beautiful coastlines and a rural center where mountains play host to 26 of the Buddhist temples that make up the Shikoku Pilgrimage. Matsuyama is home to an original post-feudal castle as well as Dogo Onsen, one of the country’s oldest natural hot springs. The northern city of Imabari marks the entrance to the Shimano Kaido, a road that crosses six spectacular bridges and several islands, forming a route between Shikoku and mainland Honshu.
