Shikokuchuo

Shikokuchuo sits on the Seto Inland Sea in Ehime Prefecture, where a narrow coastal plain gives way to the mountains of central Shikoku. The city is one of Japan’s principal centres of paper manufacturing, with mills and related businesses long shaping the waterfront districts of Kawanoe and Iyo-Mishima. On a hill above Kawanoe, the reconstructed Kawanoe Castle recalls the area’s former local stronghold. Inland routes lead towards Shikoku’s rugged interior, while the Seto Inland Sea connects this coast with ports and islands between Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu.
