Saijo

The Seto Inland Sea defines the setting of Saijo — the city spreads across a coastal plain on Shikoku’s north coast, with the Ishizuchi Mountains rising to the south and industry, neighbourhoods and farmland sharing the lowland. Mount Ishizuchi, the highest peak in western Japan, is the dominant high-country landmark of this part of Ehime. Saijo is especially associated with uchinuki, artesian spring water that wells up around the city and has long supplied local households and businesses. In autumn, the Saijo Festival brings ornate danjiri floats through local streets, sustaining a highly visible community tradition.
