2025 Uwajima Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

#Spring0yentrip When I went to Uwajima Castle in Ehime Prefecture, I also stopped by Shiroyama Local Museum at the foot of the mountain. The building has a retro atmosphere from the outside, and I was excited even before entering, thinking, "This is a place where you can feel history." Once inside, there were exhibits related to the history and culture of Uwajima, and the contents gave a good understanding of local life and traditions. What particularly impressed me was the corner where materials related to Uwajima fishing and old tools were lined up. Some of the items were actually touchable, and it really gave a real sense of what life was like at the time. There is also a comprehensive explanation of Uwajima Castle, so if you visit before touring the castle, you will gain a deeper understanding. There are also exhibits about the history of the Uwajima Domain and its relationship with the Date clan, making it a great spot for history lovers. Admission is free, so it's a great place to stop by after sightseeing at Uwajima Castle. It's a small building, but it was a warm and welcoming place where you could tell that the local people cherish it. I recommend it for those who want to know more about the charm of Uwajima!

In the morning, I woke up at the hotel, had breakfast, and headed to Uwajima Castle, one of the 12 remaining castle towers. Although it wasn't a large castle tower, it had a certain charm. After that, I drove to Uwajima Station and boarded the 09:33 local train bound for Kubokawa. It was about a two and a half hour ride to the last stop. At first, the train moved slowly along the poor track. There was no river in sight. However, after about an hour, the situation suddenly changed at Ekawasaki Station! With the beautiful view of the Shimanto River to the side, the train sped along at 85km/h on the high-standard track, which was built using bridges and tunnels through the rugged mountains. It felt very exhilarating. This is because this section was built relatively recently. You can also see the sunken bridges many times. Hanya Station, an intermediate station, is famous for its unusual name. It is unclear how long this line will last. I hope many people will take a ride on it. #Spring0yenTrip

#DomesticTravelTactics Tian'ao Garden is a beautiful Japanese garden in Uwajima City, where you can enjoy the scenery of the four seasons. Created during the Edo period, this garden was used as a villa for the lord of Uwajima, and is a quiet place where you can feel the beauty of Japan. Ten'ao Garden, where nature and history blend together, is recommended as a hidden gem for sightseeing in Uwajima. Access is about 10 minutes by car from JR Uwajima Station, or about 20 minutes on foot from the station. It is convenient to take a taxi and get there in a short time. The greatest feature of Ten'ao Garden is the stroll-style garden with a pond. There is a winding path centered around a vast pond, so you can enjoy the garden while walking. Carp and turtles swim in the pond, and time flows slowly. You can enjoy the scenery of the four seasons, and it is especially impressive during the autumn foliage season. There is also a teahouse in the garden, where you can enjoy tea while looking at the garden. You can spend a relaxing time in a quiet environment. If you visit, go early in the morning or in the evening to enjoy the quiet atmosphere. It is especially crowded during the autumn foliage season, so it is best to visit early. You can also experience seasonal tea in the teahouse, so we recommend making a reservation in advance. Ten'ao Garden is a hidden gem of Uwajima tourism, where you can enjoy a leisurely time while taking in the beauty of nature and history.

Uwajima Castle, located in Uwajima City, Ehime Prefecture, is a popular spot among history enthusiasts as one of the 12 remaining original castle towers in Japan. Situated on a small hill, it requires a bit of effort to access, but the view from the tower is breathtaking. It's worth visiting not only for castle lovers but also as a highlight of Uwajima sightseeing. ⭐️ Access and Time Required ・About a 25-minute walk from JR Uwajima Station ・If using the bus, get off at 'Uwajima Bus Center' and walk for 15 minutes To reach the castle tower, you need to walk along a mountain path, which takes about 10-15 minutes. Since the path includes slopes and stairs, it's best to wear comfortable shoes. ⭐️ Highlights 1. The Beauty of the Original 12 Castle Towers The wooden castle tower, which has remained since the Edo period, is small but beautiful with its contrast of white walls and black tiles. Inside the castle, you can feel the weight of history in the texture of the pillars and beams. 2.

The scenery in the clear morning air is also exceptional. ・Take Precautions Against Heatstroke in Summer Since you have to climb a mountain path, it can get quite hot in summer. Be sure to stay hydrated and wear a hat. ・Enjoy Uwajima's Local Specialties After your visit, it's recommended to try 'Tai-meshi' or 'Jakoten' around the station.

Various types of bamboo, named after the Date family crest, as well as seasonal flowers such as wisteria and irises, are planted throughout the garden, creating a tranquil atmosphere. There are many wisteria trellises in the garden, and the white wisteria hanging on the drum-shaped trellis over the pond is a sight unique to this garden. I recommend it.

I had a strong image of Ehime = oranges, but the first thing I felt when I went to Ehime was that the fish was really delicious! Especially in Uwajima, all the fish are incredibly firm! The restaurant I'm introducing this time, I actually didn't do any research beforehand 🤭 A local old man saw our car with Nagoya license plate and said, "I used to live in Nagoya for 25 years," and from there, he told me all about the charms of Uwajima and told me, "This conveyor belt sushi is the best place to eat!" Look at the first photo! The sea is right in front of the restaurant! The location is also great! The taste of the fish caught in such a beautiful sea is the best! And the price is also very reasonable! ……………………………………………………………… ☑︎ Recommended points Sushiemon's parent company is a fishery company that bids off fresh fish landed in the market every day and wholesales it to high-end sushi restaurants, restaurants, and various places around the country, such as Tsukiji! The fish farmed in the offshore fishing grounds, where the Kuroshio Current flows in and the tides collide violently, are 90m deep at their deepest point, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are the best in Japan! One of their commitments is that they only purchase fish farmed in an environment that is the same as that of wild fish, and they are particular about carefully selecting seasonal ingredients and serving them as quickly as possible after they are landed! Because Sushiemon is a fishery company, they can provide fresh fish of the same quality as high-end sushi restaurants at the lowest possible price!! ……………………………………………………………………☑︎Points to check・On Tuesdays and Fridays, plates priced under 160 yen are 100 yen・Daily events are held every day・Cash discounts available by registering as LINE friends・As this is a very popular restaurant, it's best to go at opening time or after 11am・Children's tableware is available, but there is no special children's menu My daughter had egg, okra gunkan, and whiting tempura……………………………………………………………………☑︎It's okay if you can't go to this restaurant🙆♂️Good news for those who can't go to the main store because it's too far away😢!

I found a dish of egg on rice that I will never forget! In Ehime, there is Matsuyama Taimeshi (rice cooked with grilled sea bream) and Uwajima Taimeshi, but what I absolutely wanted to try on this trip was Kadoya's "Uwajima Taimeshi". The firm, springy, fresh and plump sea bream sashimi is mixed with raw egg with special broth and served on hot rice. It was so delicious I can't put it into words! I realized that when people eat something really delicious, they lose themselves and are speechless! The grilled bonito on straw also made me wonder what kind of bonito I had been eating until now, it had a nice straw aroma, the flesh was chewy and, despite being lean, it had just the right amount of fat and was not at all smelly and delicious……………………………………………………………………☑︎What I ordered this time: Uwajima sea bream rice set, grilled bonito on straw set set, the specialty jakoten, and children's lunch for three people came to ¥5,500………………………………………………………………☑︎It's okay if you can't make it to the main Uwajima store🙆♂️・In Ehime prefecture, there are also 3 stores in Uwajima, 2 in Matsuyama, 1 store in Dogo Onsen, and also in Tokyo Kadoya Hibiya House / Kadoya Toranomon / Kadoya Kasumi House! *Menus and prices vary by store. Please do come and try them out………………………………………………………………The store I went to is 📍Kadoya Main Store 1-23 Tsurushimacho, Uwajima City, Ehime Prefecture11:00-14:00/17:00-20:30Open only at night on Thursdays (closed only from 12/31 to 1/1)3-minute walk from JR Uwajima StationThere is no parking lot, but if you park in the parking lot opposite, you can get a 1-hour service voucher……………………………………………………………………#Uwajima Taimeshi #EhimeGourmet #DomesticTravelRecord

#2024TravelReview Uwajima Beef Fighting Competition, what a special experience! For the first time, I witnessed two strong bulls competing with each other. The first time I heard the low, plaintive wail of an agitated bull; For the first time, I felt how important and glorious victory and defeat were to the cattle owner. Competition is a cruel thing, some are happy while others are sad. In this venue, watching... the inner feelings emerge more clearly!

Along with Matsuyama Castle, it is one of the 12 castle towers still in existence in Japan. The main castle tower faces Uwajima Bay from the front and is demarcated by unequal-sided pentagonal ropes. It was built by the famous castle builder Fujido Takatora with his outstanding castle-building skills and is unbreakable. Climb up the steep stone steps along the huge stone wall and you can see the three-story castle tower on the top of the mountain, which has retained its original appearance. The interior of the castle tower retains its wooden atmosphere, and you can overlook the Uwajima Bay and the Uwajima town area. #ChristmasDestinations2024

About 2 hours by car from Matsuyama City. Uwajima City is located here. Uwajima Castle was the castle of Date Masamune's eldest son, Date Hidemune, and his family. This is where the Uwajima Date clan lived. Of the existing castle towers, there are 12 that have never been rebuilt. Uwajima Castle is one of them. Uwajima Castle stands on a small hill overlooking Uwajima City, and can be reached by climbing stairs and slopes from the parking lot. After walking for about 10 minutes, the castle tower comes into view. Take off your shoes, pay the entrance fee and enter the castle. There is an introduction to the history of Uwajima City, the history of Uwajima Castle, and the Uwajima Date clan. When you go up to the castle tower, you can see a 360° panoramic view...✨ I was so excited to see the mountains, sea, and city as far as the eye could see🥰 📍: Uwajima Castle 🚉: About 15 minutes walk from Uwajima Station 🅿️: Yes (paid) 💰: 200 yen for adults, free for high school students and younger ️📝: The stairs are steep, so I recommend wearing clothes that are easy to move in (It is best to avoid wide-legged pants and skirts as much as possible) #FuritabiWinter #Ehime #EhimeTrip #EhimeTourism #CastleTour #UwajimaCastle

#100 Ways to Travel DAY 19： An earthquake measuring 6.4 on the Richter scale occurred at 11:17 Japan time last night. The epicenter was in the Toyogo Channel in Ehime Prefecture, Shikoku, with a depth of 50 kilometers. The Uwajima Oriental Hotel where I stayed was located in Ehime Prefecture, the rock district at the epicenter. The earthquake of September 21 didn't wake me up. This time I was sleeping soundly in the guest room on the sixth floor of the hotel. Suddenly, a sudden earthquake shook me and I jumped out of bed. I quickly dressed, picked up my bag and mobile phone, and I hurriedly moved to the first floor and saw that many people had gathered in the open space outside the lobby. The vases and display items at the elevator entrance were staggered. Then I called my wife to report that I was safe. When I returned to the room, I turned on the TV and every channel was on. Playing an earthquake report, the authorities said there was no need to worry about triggering a tsunami. I lay in bed and felt 3-4 aftershocks throughout the night. Although each time did not last long, it made me tremble all night long and made it difficult for me to sleep well. Today’s riding realization: Some roads must be walked alone. This is not loneliness, but choice. If you are insignificant in other people’s world, then shine in your own world. Visit the shrine: ◎Ryukoji Shishiichi Ryukoji Temple is located in a highland with pleasant scenery ◎Forty-second edition of Butsumokuji Temple ◎43rd Meisekiji Couple's Cedar and Patio Painting ◎Begoshichiban Kinzan Desekiji Temple, 820 meters above sea level, Kobo Daishi’s Dharma Protective Stone Accommodation: Ota Hotel, Osu City Today’s riding mileage: 84 kilometers Cumulative cycling mileage: 1315 kilometers #Japan #四国 #四国平路 #四国Banlutonghaohui #Seto内海 #德岛 #apo灵场 #kochi #Tosa神场 #爱hime #sanukishinjang #香川 #伊yospiritual field #biketrip #二人行 #公法师 #南无大师极光天 #四国Banlu88燇sho #yubianlu #shimaamikaido #小豆岛 #Setouchi National Park #Don’t ask me how much it costs to travel #Ask yourself how many years of youth you have left #japan #tokushima #kochi #ehime #takematsu

Uwajima is a city in the Nanyo region of Ehime Prefecture, which is generally not a common destination and rarely visited on purpose. It depends on how much you like Japan. The keep of Uwajima Castle is not large, but it is one of the only twelve remaining from the Edo period. It is located on a not-so-high mountain, but the path up gives a real sense of climbing to a castle. In the summer, when it's over 30 degrees Celsius, it's quite cool at the top, making it worth the climb. From the top floor, you can see a panoramic view of Uwajima Bay and the city center. The entrance fee is 200 yen. If you are really interested, you can take the JR Yosan Line limited express Uwakai from Matsuyama, which takes about an hour and a half to reach Uwajima. After getting off the train, it's about a 15-minute walk to Uwajima Castle Park. It's recommended not to visit in the peak of summer!

Uwajima Castle, one of the 12 castle towers still in existence in Japan 201703 I didn’t go to Shikoku for the cherry blossom viewing, but I was lucky enough to encounter cherry blossoms in full bloom in this small but beautiful city. It just so happened that we visited on a weekday and there was almost no one there, so it was super easy to take photos! There is a small park below where children will be happy to see the swings and slides! Because the children were still young at the time (sister 2 years old, brother 5 years old), an adult played with the children and then took turns to go up and take pictures of the castle!

Ehime is known for its Taimeshi (sea bream rice), but in Matsuyama style, the rice is cooked with grilled sea bream. In Uwajima style, the rice is soaked in soy sauce dashi broth from sashimi. I love the Uwajima style! The sea bream miso soup is made with barley miso, and it is full of sweetness and has a very gentle taste! Address: 1-3-2 Marunouchi, Uwajima City, Ehime Prefecture, 798-0060 Atmosphere/Facilities: The interior of the restaurant has been renovated and is very clean, with a counter and sunken kotatsu-style tables.

We rented a boat from Yamamura Shokai in Uwajima, which is very close to Minami Rakuen, and went fishing🎣 We arrived before dawn, and under the starry sky that you can't see in Tokyo, we prepared for fishing🌠 As the sun rose, we loaded our luggage onto the boat and set sail🚤 With the morning sun behind us, we started fishing🐟 We parked the boat at a fish farm in the bay, and the waves were calm, so even beginners can enjoy it with peace of mind😄 As expected of Uwajima, we didn't catch any big fish that day, but we caught about 30 fish in half a day by fishing for five fish, mainly sea bream😋 There were also boats that had caught a lot of squid🦑 The conversation with the famous old lady from Yamamura Shokai, who sees us off and welcomes us at the pier, was also extremely powerful and energizing😂 You need to prepare your fishing equipment, but you can easily rent a boat and go out to sea, so it's recommended for those who want to go fishing on a boat😄 #Outdoor #Ehime #fishing #sea bream fishing #boat #Uwajima #sea #starry sky
