Imabari City is located in Ehime Prefecture facing the beautiful Seto Inland Sea. Imabari also has its own port.

You can easily see some of the small islands of the Seto Inland Sea from there. For most tourists Matsuyama City might be the main attraction in Ehime Prefecture, but especially castle fans should definitely consider Imabari as well.

Imabari Castle is known for its seawatefilled system of moats and its location on flat coastal land – which is a rare combination in Japan.
