Overview

Uwajima, nestled in the southwestern part of Ehime Prefecture, is a coastal city known for its historical charm and cultural heritage. The highlight is Uwajima Castle, one of Japan’s few original castles with an intact keep. The city is also famous for bullfighting events at the Uwajima Bullfighting Arena, and the Taga Shrine, dedicated to fertility. The surrounding coastal scenery, pearl cultivation farms, and fresh seafood, particularly sea bream, add to the allure of this hidden gem.
