Workation in Matsuyama: the essentials
Matsuyama, Shikoku's largest city with about 494,000 people, wraps around a castle hill and is crossed by old-fashioned trams that end at Dogo Onsen, one of Japan's oldest bathhouses. Natsume Soseki set his novel Botchan here, and the haiku poet Masaoka Shiki was born here, so both remain local heroes. Evenings play out in the Okaido arcade and around Nibancho. Cyclists head for Imabari, north-east of town, where the Shimanami Kaido sets out across the Seto Inland Sea islands to Onomichi. Matsuyama Airport is only about 6 km away, but the city is off the Shinkansen network and the quickest way to Hiroshima is by ferry.
