5-2-2, Matsuyama, Matsuyama, Japan, 790-0012
Travel Date: March 2024, 2 nights

Location: In the center of Matsuyama City Station, which is the hub of local trains going to transfer stations in the JR line. Also, base for the tram heading to Dogo Onsen. Bus stops from other prefectures like Kochi or Hakata, etc. It is the same building as Takashimaya and the ferris wheel. There is a small underground market and a very long array of ground markets heading to Okaido. 

Shikoku, Japan: The Kochi Prefectural Makino Botanical Garden

I have several parks on my list but most are still without blooming flowers.  Gladly included Kochi Prefectural Makino Botanical Garden the day before going to Matsuyama.
