The kids were in a good mood and it was a happy memory. ⚫︎Dogo Onsen streetscape A retro station building that retains the atmosphere of the Meiji era. There are many photo spots such as the "Botchan train" and the clock tower. 📸 A must-see spot for eating and buying souvenirs. ⚫︎Enmanji Temple Enmanji Temple is located near the main building of Dogo Onsen. The colorful love luck item "Omusubi ball" is photogenic and cute. ✨ ⚫︎Shimonada Station A popular spot for watching the sunset. 🚉 I learned that it was a filming location for the drama "HERO", so it's a must-see spot for my generation.

Iyonada Monogatari is one of the three tourist trains in Shikoku. From Matsuyama in Shikoku - Iyo Ozu - Yawatahama The beautiful train is full of design Drive along the coastline with a delicious meal It's really enjoyable... The train will stop at the famous unmanned station "Shimotan" for about ten minutes to allow tourists to take photos (but there is not enough time, I really want to stay and watch the sunset) Because it is very popular, you can book a room one month before your departure date. Book from the official website

Starting from Songshan Station, it takes about fifty minutes to reach the most beautiful unmanned train station, Xiatan Station. The buses here cannot use transportation cards, so you have to buy tickets on site! After getting off the bus, you can take a few photos near the station (there are a lot of people). Walk along the road on the right and you will see a small rocky beach. I went down the stairs toward the beach and after a short walk you can see the railroad tracks. There are three in total. There are fewer people here than at the station, so you can take more photos. There will be many students sitting together in the car after 3 o'clock. It will be more convenient if you drive yourself. Weather is a very important factor in travel, only come on sunny days~ Xiatan Station 📍Address: 〒799-3311 3-8 Okubo, Sokai-cho, Iyo City, Ehime Prefecture #AprilGoodDestinations2025 #Shikoku #Shikoku #Ehime #ShikokuTravel

#AprilTravelSupport A 9-day, 3-month-4-second cherry blossom trip that I set off on with great determination! A beautiful park, Matsuyama Castle on the top of the mountain, a cable car, and cherry blossoms. I was glad I came at the right time. Is there anything better to see? It was amazing that there was a tram that was convenient to go anywhere. The shopping streets and department stores were well-organized, and local specialties were well-promoted. Dogo Onsen was as quiet as its old history. It was amazing that there was a rickshaw experience nearby. There were quite a few unmanned stations by the seaside, so it was nice to see. The cherry blossoms in bloom on the coastal slopes, the blue sea, and the rape blossoms were spectacular. I wanted to go to Aoshima, famous for its cat island, but I couldn't go because of the strong waves. However, I went to a cat cafe in a Japanese family's house that protects cats, and I was able to play with the cats. I sat on a park bench with regret, and took in the spring breeze, fluttering cherry blossoms, and the quiet sky. I want to see that sight again.
