#New York Flight Ticket Event The best place to travel near Matsuyama! It's Shimonada Station I highly recommend it as a place to go to see the sunset It's the most crowded at sunset But since there's not much else to do, you can take plenty of pictures and see until the next train departs, so I recommend visiting at sunset.

We took an EVA Air charter flight to Matsuyama. The unexpected surprise was a free shuttle bus from the airport to the city, and 3 free tickets (Matsuyama Castle ticket 520, round-trip cable car 520, Dogo Onsen ticket 700), which saved a lot of money~ It was so generous~ This time I came to Shimonada Station to watch the sunset and stayed in a hot spring hotel. I felt the pace of the Japanese countryside was particularly leisurely. I slowly jumped on the tram and slowly moved to Shimonada Station. I didn't expect that Xiatan Station is so popular. The place was already packed with people. The sunset was just beginning, and 5 o'clock was the perfect time. The sky went from bright to full of rosy clouds. The scenery was so beautiful that I couldn't stop taking pictures with my mobile phone. It was really beautiful no matter how I took pictures. The magazine said it was very high-end. I didn't believe it at first, but after experiencing it myself, I believed it. #Matsuyama Shimonada Station

Time of visit: mid-July Weather: 1-2 degrees lower than Korea and less humid (very windy) ✅2 nights, 3 days Day 1: Incheon-> Matsuyama accommodation-> Dogo Onsen-> City tour Day 2: Matsuyama Station-> Shimonada Station (sea) -> Ozu Station-> Karusanso-> Uchiko Village -> Matsuyama Ferris Wheel -> Accommodation Day 3: Bansuiso-> Matsuyama City Tour Since Matsuyama is a small city, I recommend 2 nights and 3 days to 3 nights and 4 days There is a pudding shop near Dogo Onsen, and I recommend the original pudding!! We booked Dormy Inn Matsuyama and there were many izakayas and restaurants near the accommodation! I visited Osaka three weeks ago, but the atmosphere was much better than Osaka! It was definitely a peaceful and healing trip with fewer people! Since there is a direct flight to Masuyama, there were mostly Korean tourists and there seemed to be fewer Chinese tourists. The prices are also very cheap. It's great value for moneyㅎㅎㅎ I recommend it to those who haven't been to Matsuyama🩵 ✔️ Those who like quiet and cozy ✔️ Those who have a low budget The public transportation is well-developed, and the place I stayed at had an open-air bath☺️ I think I'll visit again when I need healing! Total cost: 600,000 won (excluding shopping) Overall rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️(4.2)

📍 Shimonada Station, Ehime It's a very small station, but it used to be said to be the closest station to the sea in Japan, and the view from the platform is spectacular 👏💙 (although it's no longer the closest because a national highway has been built between the station and the sea). All that's on the platform is an old roof and a bench. And there's nothing blocking the view of the Seto Inland Sea right in front of you!! It's a local line, and no express trains stop at this station, but a train came at just the right time 🚃 We went there around noon, and it seems like the sunset you can see from here is also amazing ☺️ It's become quite a tourist spot, so it feels more like a station with a lot of tourists than a local station...🤣 lol *Please note that tripods are not allowed! Add some excitement to your everyday life 🌙: 📍Shimonada Station, Ehime📮 Okubo, Futami-cho, Iyo City, Ehime Prefecture🚗 About 40 minutes by car from Matsuyama Station🚃 About 1 hour by train from Matsuyama Station #Sakura2024 #Ehime #EhimeTourism #EhimeTrip #AmazingView #AmazingSpots #GirlsTrip

Most people go to Shimonada Station by car, but it's a station 😳 I went by regular train, so I spent about 2 hours relaxing at Shimonada Station (there are very few trains...!) By the way, there is almost nothing in the surrounding area, so be careful ⚠️ There is a food truck called Shimonada Coffee nearby 🥰 But thanks to that, I was able to see a lot of beautiful scenery ✨ The tourist train is nice, but if I get on the tourist train, I won't be able to take photos of Shimonada Station without a train, so I got there by regular train! 📍 Spot information━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Name: Shimonada StationAddress: Okubo, Futami-cho, Iyo City, Ehime Prefecture #besttrip2023 #ShimonadaStation #GreatView #PhotogenicSpot #SoloTravel #EhimeTrip

JR Kyushu is known as the "Railway Kingdom" and has many famous sightseeing trains. However, JR Shikoku also has the beautiful "Iyonada Monogatari", "Shikoku Shochu Millennium Monogatari" and the cute "Anpanman Train" that can be compared! This time when we came to Ehime, we took the popular sightseeing train "Iyonada Monogatari" of JR Shikoku from Yawatahama Station to Matsuyama City. Along the way, we enjoyed the golden sunset of the Seto Inland Sea. The train also passed through "Shimonada Station", which is known as the secret station closest to the sea. It started operating in 2014 and mainly runs on weekends and holidays. Ehime (日本伊哟) is the old name of Ehime Prefecture. This popular sightseeing train "伊音潭物语版" started operating in 2014 and mainly runs on weekends and holidays. Friends who want to take pictures of the sunset should pay attention to the local weather tram The easiest and quickest way is to take the JR Yosan Line from Matsuyama Station to Yawatahama or Iyo-Ozu. It will take about 50 minutes to reach Shimonada Station. Since the Yosan Line runs very sparsely, there is only one train per hour. If you want to watch the sunset, it is best to check the timetable first. #日本旅行 #爱嫒
