Experience of the stay
It’s about a 10-minute walk from both JR Matsuyama Station and Iyo Den Matsuyama Station. It's about 30 seconds from the Nishihoribata tram station. It used to be a JAL City Hotel, and it's a splendid 12-story hotel. Although it's not new, it gives a well-maintained impression. The room was a minimum size for a double, but I felt comfortable staying there. At the 1st-floor bar, during breakfast buffet hours, you can eat two types of tai-meshi. However, since it's available only until 9 AM, I couldn’t use it for breakfast. I visited on January 3rd, and the bar during lunchtime was being used as a gathering spot for locals, making it seem cozy.
Experiences during the trip
To ride the ropeway to Matsuyama Castle, take the tram to Okaido and walk for about 5 minutes to the boarding station. The view is excellent, and you can see all the way to the sea. When I come to Matsuyama, I cross the Shimanami Kaido by bus from Fukuyama, and I was also impressed by the scenery of the islands connected here. There are many restaurants serving the famous Uwajima tai-meshi, but 'Ehimeshiya' located inside the newly renovated JR Matsuyama station also serves tai-meshi and nabe-yaki udon, making it a nice spot to casually enjoy a variety of dishes.
