    Kouchi Pref. Agawaguninochou Teragawa
    "This road has a view of Mt. Ishizuchi, western Japan's highest peak and one of the 100 Famous Japanese Mountains. The road's name derives from the similarity of pronunciation between ""Yuho"", the original Japanese name and ""UFO."" It's a very popular driving route, and it has also appeared in Toyota commercials. The road runs about 27 kilometers through Kamegamori at an elevation ranging from 1,300 to 1,700 meters. Its superb scenery includes Akebono rhododendrons blooming in May, mountain hydrangea in July, and a geranium species called Shikokufuro in August. If your timing's right, September will let you see both colorful foliage and the landscape covered in frost. The road is closed from the end of November to the beginning of April."

    曇り空でよく見られず、晴れていたら視界が開けたかと思います。 狭い林道で、ガードレールがないところもありますから、普段運転しない方は時間の余裕があるがある移動をお勧めします。 空に近いところを走りとても気分が良いところです。車一台がやっと通れる場所もありますので、対向車が来てないか見極めて行けば問題なしです。 時間が許せば瓶ヶ森山に登ると更に素晴らしい景色が見られます。 下山途中、突然うりぼうが崖...

    There are three expressways connecting Honshu (the main island of Japan) with Shikoku (the smallest of the four main islands of Japan), and Nishiseto Expressway, also known as Shimanami Kaido, which is one of them. It connects Onomichi in Honshu with Imabari in Shikoku, and covers the west route. As you cross the islands, there are many beautiful scenic locations and tourist spots along the way including temples and historical landmarks. This is also the location of Japan’s first cycling road to cross over the strait, drawing numerous cycling tourists.

    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.
