Yawatahama

The terrain around Yawatahama is a steep, indented coast on the Uwa Sea, which has shaped both the city’s compact urban form and its economy. The port on western Shikoku faces Kyushu across the Bungo Channel and maintains ferry routes to Beppu and Usuki in Ōita Prefecture, making it an important sea link between the islands. Citrus orchards climb the surrounding slopes; Ehime is one of Japan’s leading mandarin-producing prefectures, and mikan remain central to local trade. Food culture has its own signature in Yawatahama champon, a noodle dish commonly prepared with seafood and vegetables.
