Island Bridges and a Castle Town on the Inland Sea
Ehime offers both the sea and the city: the Shimanami Kaido linking the islands of the Seto Inland Sea by bridge, Matsuyama Castle with its surviving keep, and Dogo Onsen, one of the oldest hot springs in the country. Its mild climate has also made it a well-known citrus-growing region.
The Ehime page on Halal Gourmet Japan features prayer places such as Matsuyama Musalla and Niihama Masjid, with qibla direction marked and wudu facilities available, so you can pray while traveling around Matsuyama and Niihama.
When visiting Ehime, check the map for facilities near your route and plan your trip together with other areas along the Inland Sea.
