    Ehime Imabari-shi Miyakubocho Miyakubo 1285
    This museum, located in Miyakubo Town, Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture, preserves and displays artifacts related to Noshima Murakami, one of the Murakami pirates who was called “Daimyo of the seas” and who controlled Setouchi during the Sengoku, or warring states, period. The museum displays important artifacts and related works on the Noshima Murakami clan, as well as old documents, reconstructed models, and pieces unearthed during excavations. The restored Japanese armor and battle surcoat (a sleeveless campaign jacket worn over armor), said to have been actually worn, are must-see exhibits. The observation room with views overlooking the ruins of Noshima Castle, and the area where visitors can try on for themselves some armor and garments are also popular.

    I was on a tour so didnt plan on stopping here but is was so interesting. The artifacts of the museum was okay but the story and history of these pirates made the stop worthwhile. Especially if...

    Ehime Imabari-shi Tomitashinko 1-3
    This commodity manufacturing museum was built to resemble the Belvedere Palace in Vienna, Austria. It was founded on the site of the Nihon Shokken Holdings Ehime main office as a transmission base of world food culture. There are two tour courses to choose from; the Food Culture Museum Course (takes around three and a half hours) which includes lunch at the staff cafeteria, and the Palace Course which centers around the KO Palace factory. It is the world's only museum that showcases a wide range of information about the food culture of the world, from the things that are actually put in the mouth to the ingredients, utensils, tableware, and meal etiquette.

    お城の工場見学に参加しました。入場料1000円は少し高いですが、焼き肉のたれなどのお土産がついてきます。宮殿の中に工場があるのでとてもシュールです。説明も丁寧ですが、若干駆け足です。せっかく説明パネルがたくさんあって面白そうなのに見られなかったのが少し残念でした。

    Ehime Imabari-shi Omishimacho Miyaura 3327
    These treasure halls are located on the grounds of Oyamazumi Shrine in Miyaura, Omishima-cho, Imabari City Omishima Island. They are comprised of the Shiyoden, the Omishima Maritime Museum, and the Kokuhokan. They possess treasures such as sets of armor and swords that include eight National Treasures and 469 National Important Cultural Properties. In addition, the Omishima Maritime Museum features a variety of exhibits including the Hayamamaru, the boat used by Emperor Showa to collect samples for his marine biology research, as well as specimens of the flora and fauna from the Seto Inland Sea.

    鎌倉時代から戦国時代の甲冑の数々は日本一の展示で、国宝・重文がゴロゴロとあり全国の国宝・重文指定のの武具類のなんと8割もここにあるそうです。大三島が国宝の島と呼ばれるのも頷けます。日本総鎮守の大山祇神社、併設の海事博物館と共に一見の価値があると思います。ちなみに内部の写真撮影はできません。

    Ehime Pref. Imabarishi Miyakubochoumiyakubo 3546
    "This is the symbol of ""Stone Town Miyakubo-cho"" which has been producing beautiful durable Oshima-ishi granite since the start of the Edo-period. Oshima-ishi granite, which is as smooth to the touch as celadon porcelain, is marked by unwillingness to fade, with its deep grey increasing as time passes. It is used in both the National Diet Building and the imperial Akasaka Estate. There are displays on Oshima-ishi granite as well as other types of stone from around the world and you can learn about the history and culture of stone work. Unique stone works and monuments are dotted about the grounds and along with the main building there are grounds available for baseball and tennis and a multipurpose auditorium."

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.
