Shimonada Station is well known as a scenic station which is the closest to the sea. It has appeared in movies and TV dramas.

An emerald river located at inner mountain in Shikoku Region, is named Omogo River. You can enjoy beautiful green river and shinning white rocky scene from the easy-walking path! By the way, it's the headwaters of Niyodo River that has become more famous for its beautiful water called 'Niyodo Blue'.◎Car parking area is available. Also, you can access by bus from JR Matsuyama after transfer once (but it takes 4 hours). In addition, it's the entrance of Mt. Ishizuchi, I think it's good to tour Omogo Gorge and Mt. Ichizuchi climbing together.
