#April travel support fund #Matsuyama City Station #Bansui So #Dogo Park #ref Vessel Hotel I visited Matsuyama during the fall foliage season last year, and visited Matsuyama again in the spring to see the cherry blossoms. It is a city where you can fully experience the charm of a small-town trip, as you can walk around the city to see the tourist attractions here and there, and take the tram to tour the city. I stayed at the REF Vessel Hotel, and the room was clean and convenient, and breakfast was enjoyable with a variety of delicious foods. I highly recommend the breakfast, which includes a variety of Matsuyama citrus juices and even sea bream sashimi.

Soseki Coffee Shop Aishotei, located in Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture, is a café filled with historical ambiance. This place was once the lodging of Natsume Soseki when he was teaching in Matsuyama, and it has now been transformed into a nostalgic-style café offering various Ehime specialties in sweets and drinks. Bansuiso is a French-style mansion built in 1922, originally the villa of Count Hisamatsu Sadakoto, the lord of Matsuyama. This building, with its elegant design and historical value, has been designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan and is a significant cultural heritage of Matsuyama City. Natsume Soseki (1867-1916) is one of the representative writers of modern Japanese literature, originally named Natsume Kinnosuke. His works include "I Am a Cat," "Botchan," and "Kokoro," which have had a profound impact on Japanese literature. After graduating from Tokyo Imperial University, he taught in Matsuyama and Kumamoto, later studying in England, and upon returning to Japan, he became a full-time writer. His works are known for their humor and deep human insights, and they remain widely loved by readers to this day. In autumn, Soseki Coffee Shop Aishotei is surrounded by stunning autumn foliage. The maple trees inside and outside the café turn bright red in the fall, adding a romantic atmosphere to the café. Visitors can enjoy Ehime specialty sweets while admiring the beautiful autumn foliage, making for a leisurely afternoon. 📍Address: 3-3-7 Ichibancho, Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture

When I went on a trip to Ehime, I visited Bansuiso, an important cultural property. Bansuiso was built in 1922 by the Hisamatsu family, the former feudal lords of Matsuyama. It is a French-style Western-style building built as a villa for the Hisamatsu residence. Currently, it is an annex of the Ehime Prefectural Museum of Art and serves as an exhibition room for local artists, and the building itself is said to have artistic value, with mantelpieces and stained glass made specially for Hawaii! 📍3-3-7 Ichibancho, Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture, 790-0001 10 minutes by tram from Matsuyama Station 3 minutes on foot from Okaido Station Opening hours: 9:00-18:00 Hours may change depending on events, etc. Closed: Mondays, open on public holidays Adults: Adults: 300 yen.

Built during the Taisho era, it is a Western-style mansion. Inside, you can tour rooms that evoke the modern Western-style of that period. It seems that members of the imperial family have stayed there, and there was also an explanation about that. The nearest tram station is O-kaido Station. Nearby, there are other tourist attractions such as the Saka no Ue no Kumo Museum and the Soseki Coffee Shop.
