Summarize
The name Imabari, I believe many people listen to it, but very few actually go there. So when I set off to Shikoku once, I found that I had the opportunity to go to Imabari, and I was a little nervous. The population of Imabari is smaller than expected, which is about the population density outside the 23rd ward of Tokyo. Basically, the distance between people is more than 5 meters. It is a very quiet city.

If you have come to Matsuyama, you have experienced popular attractions such as Dogo Onsen, Young Master Train, etc., but if you still have an afternoon and can’t think of other itineraries, it’s a good travel experience to go to Imabari. You can also buy some Imabari towels along the way. Product to a friend.
