The route features a “Melody Road” which plays a song when vehicles drive along it at a given speed.

    Ehime Ozu-shi Kawabecho
    This road in Kawabe-cho, Ozu City is thought to have been walked by Sakamoto Ryoma when he likely passed through Ozu on his way to Shimonoseki after leaving the Tosa Domain. The approximately 15-kilometer-long mountain trail runs from Enokigatoge Pass to Izumigatoge Pass. A number of events are held in the area including “Waraji de Aruko Sakamoto Ryoma Dappan no Michi,” in which participants walk the trail where Sakamoto Ryoma escaped from the domain in straw sandals.

    河辺町内での行程は約15キロ程ですが、峠を四つも越えるためアップダウンはかなり激しい道のりです。若き日の龍馬は約4時間でこの道のりを駆け抜けたと言われています。 保存会によって整備されている道を歩くと、龍馬は何を想い、この道を歩いたのかと想いを馳せてしまいます。

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.
