    Travel / Tourism
    Ehime Nishiuwa-gun Ikatacho Shono
    This white lighthouse is located at the tip of the Sadamisaki Peninsula in Setonaikai National Park. This white lighthouse stands at the end of Satamisaki Peninsula, where it is said that it is the longest and most narrow peninsula in Japan. The lighthouse has been in operation for over 90 years since its first lighting in 1918. It is a scenic landmark where on clear days you can view Takashima and Kyushu in the distance across the Hoyo Straight. It is especially beautiful at sunset. In 1998 it was selected as one of the Japan Coast Guard’s top 50 lighthouses in the country. Although the walkway leading to the lighthouse is well maintained, it is long with a lot of ups and downs. Please be careful.

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.
