    Ehime Pref. Imabarishi Yoshiumichoufukuda 1292
    Yoshiumi Rose Park in Oshima Yoshiumi Port hosts 3,500 rose bushes of 400 varieties from around the world on a site of about 2.8 hectares. It’s one of the few places in the country with over 100 kinds of heirloom roses, including their “Josephine Collection.” The best time to see them is mid-May to early June and mid-October to early November. Many visitors come for late May’s Rose Festival. You can also purchase rose seedlings and mini-roses at a nearby shop.

    Lovely park, surprisingly large, nice diversion off the bike way. There was not much flowering in September.

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.
