Not a big zoo indeed, but it’s quite a variety of animals which can’t be seen in other large zoo. Highly recommend the restaurant next to the elephant , the food is cheap and you can watch the elephant while eating.

The place was nice but looks like not being cared for a long time. There’s a lot of animals and a beautiful overview of the city.

This zoo is pretty cool with a wide selection of exotic animals. It's definitely way bigger than my local zoo in the states. It has lots of information about the animals such as their name, origin, traits and age. It has cute gift shops with lots of souvenirs and decorations. Peace, the polar bear, is definitely the star of the show and the selling point of the zoo. The entry fee was very cheap: ¥500

Animals are kept in tiny cages or tight spaces resembling prisons only for human entertainment. Facilities are also old and worn out. Stresses are introduced to animals and it isn't humane. This zoo is 35 years old and is still built with the design since then. It is heartbreaking to see animals being treated poorly. The zoo should either learn from other zoos and make itself better or shut down and send the animals to better places to end their suffering.

It’s a lovely zoo. You can see animals very close. Some places you can feed the animals.

Although the appearance was a bit dated, the ticket price was only 500yen for an adult, and you could see a wide variety of animal species even polar bear, lions, hippos, rhinos and tigers. Definitely worth visiting, especially with kids.

Nice polar bear. Rich of species.

(Translated by Google) I was able to watch the show quietly in a beautiful building. I had heard of Masami Sakamura's name, but I didn't know him very well, so I learned a lot from him. Since you have been through a lot, your warm words encourage people. (Original) 綺麗な館内で静かに観ることができました。 坂村真民さん、名前は聞いたことがありましたがよく知らなかったので、いろいろ知れて勉強になりました。 いろいろ経験されているので暖かい詞が人を勇気づけるのですね。

(Translated by Google) You can view works left behind by Professor Shintami, such as his famous poems "A wish makes a flower bloom; there is love in Ehime." Admission fees vary depending on the theme of the exhibition, but this time it was 500 yen for adults using the JAF member discount. As this is a memorial museum for a representative figure of Ehime Prefecture, I hope that it will remain forever as an asset to the prefecture, along with the Itami Juzo Memorial Museum. (Original) 有名な詩　念ずれは花ひらく　愛媛産には愛がある　など真民先生が残した作品を見学できます。　入場料はその時々のテーマ展により異なりますが､今回はJAF会員割引を使って大人500円でした。 愛媛県の代表的な方の記念館なので伊丹十三記念館と合わせて､永遠に愛媛県の財産として残していって欲しいものです。

(Translated by Google) This is the museum of Sakamura Minmin, known for his works such as "There is love in Ehime" and "Flowers will bloom if you wish for them". In a spacious and bright space, straightforward and positive words were lined up 🤗 The staff were also very kind and told us a lot about the works and Sakamura Minmin, which allowed us to enjoy the works even more! We had plans after this, so we were just going to take a quick look, but we both took our time to enjoy the works 😊 Every piece touched my heart directly, and I felt like I was going to cry It left me feeling refreshed and refreshed 😆 Even after we left the museum, we were talking about how "I felt so positive" The museum itself felt like a power spot, it was amazing! 👏 The souvenir corner was also substantial, and I bought some postcards 🤗 (Original) 「愛媛産には愛がある」「念ずれば花ひらく」などの作品で知られる坂村真民さんの記念館 広々として明るい空間に、真っ直ぐでポジティブな言葉達が並んでいました🤗 スタッフの方もすごく親切で、作品や坂村真民さんについて色々と教えていただきより作品を楽しむことができました！ この後の予定もあったのでサラッと見るつもりが、2人揃ってじっくりじーっくり作品を楽しみました😊 どの作品も真っ直ぐに心に届いて、涙が出そうな感覚 なんだか心がスッキリと晴れやかな気持ちになりました😆 記念館を出てからも「すごい前向きな気持ちになったね」って話をしたくらい この記念館自体がパワースポットのような感じですごかった！👏 お土産コーナーも充実していて、私はいくつかポストカードを買いました🤗

(Translated by Google) I knew where it was, but I was invited by a fan of the teacher, and this was my first time visiting. In this world of uncertainty, every word the teacher said made me feel calm. The person I was with told me, "We need to let as many people as possible know about it." (Original) 所在は知っていましたが、先生のファンの方に誘われて初めて訪れました。何かと不安な世の中では先生の言葉の一つ一つが穏やかな気持ちにさせて頂きました。「多くの人に知ってもらわなきゃ」と連れの方に言われました。

(Translated by Google) I used it from Jalan twice. First of all, the view inside was a building built in the Edo period, and it had a fantastic atmosphere that soothed your daily fatigue.

(Translated by Google) I'm a user who loves Japanese sake, and until I found out about this, I loved Niigata's sake and drank it, but I thought I'd try Ehime's sake, so I tried it... and I was hooked... You can drink it like water, and if you try a different one, it will be richer and have a richer taste, so you can enjoy it in a variety of ways! As a sake lover from Ehime Prefecture, this is a famous sake that I want to drink every day!

(Translated by Google) There is a torii gate at the Mt. Sotsu Gongen trailhead. There is also a somen sink next to it. If you continue up the mountain, you will see various buildings of Sekitetsuji Temple (the inner temple of Matsuyama Ishiteji Temple) (including Maejinji Temple), but the shrine building is located at the top of Mt. Gongenyama. Information on climbing Mt. Gongen has been posted on Hirota Ishizuchi (Mt. Sotsu Gongen), so please refer to it. (Original) 総津権現山登山口の所に鳥居が有ります。そうめん流しも横に有ります。そのまま登っていくと石鉄寺（松山石手寺の奥の院）の諸所の建物が有りますが（前神寺もあります）、神社の建物は権現山の頂上に有ります。権現山への登山については広田石槌（総津権現山）に載せて置きましたので参考にして下さい。

(Translated by Google) Sotsu Gongen Koishi Hammer. Although it is only about 30 minutes long, there are some chain-linked areas, so it is truly a path for training. (Original) 総津権現 小石鎚。３０分程の道ながら、鎖場もある、まさに修行の道。

(Translated by Google) A cafe located in Tobe Town, Ehime Prefecture where you can enjoy Tobe ware, drinks, and chiffon cake. It was about a 40 minute bus ride from Matsuyama city, and it was quite a walk from the bus stop. When you eat in, you can drink coffee using Tobe ware cups. The Tobe ware coffee cup has a unique texture that feels like it wraps around your fingers, and it fits perfectly. You can purchase products at the merchandise corner. I looked for the coffee cup provided at eat-in, but unfortunately the same type of design was out of stock. There is also online sales. 2019.10 (Original) 愛媛県砥部町にある砥部焼とドリンクとシフォンケーキが楽しめるカフェです。 松山市街からはバスで40分程度、バス停からは徒歩で移動したので結構大変でした。 イートインでは砥部焼のカップを使ってコーヒーを飲むことができます。砥部焼のコーヒーカップは指を包み込むような独特の肌感がなんとも言えず、フィットします。 物販コーナーでは商品の購入が可能です。イートインで提供されたコーヒーカップを探しましたが、残念ながら同じタイプのデザインが在庫切れでした。ネット販売もあるとのこと。 2019.10

(Translated by Google) It's in a residential area, and the parking lot is small, so unless you're good at driving, I think it's better to buy at Honnosato. This store has more cute pieces, but the overall number of items is not as large. (Original) 住宅街の中にあり、駐車場も狭いので、運転が得意でなければ、炎の里で購入した方がいいと思う。 こちらのお店の方が、可愛らしい作品は多いが、全体の品数はそこまで多くない

(Translated by Google) Although the number of items on display is small, it seems that online sales and store inventory are the same. I guess the stock is in the back. It's a stylish store with a nice atmosphere. (Original) 展示品は、少なめですがネット販売と店舗在庫が同じらしい。在庫が奥にあるんでしょう。おしゃれな店内でいい雰囲気です。

(Translated by Google) A select shop for Tobe ware. A space where you can choose carefully. A variety of tableware that is a mixture of tradition and newness. The clerk is a little modest and kind. I bought a lot! (Original) 砥部焼のセレクトショップ。じっくりと選べる空間。伝統と新しさが混じりあった食器の数々。少し控えめで優しい店員さん。いっぱい買っちゃいました！

The products they carry are so fashionable that I had a hard time deciding which one to buy, but I was able to purchase a very nice bowl. (Original) 砥部焼きの器を買いたくて立ち寄りました。 とてもおしゃれなお店でした。 扱っている商品もおしゃれでどれを買うか悩んでしまいましたが、とても良い器を購入できました。

(Translated by Google) I wanted to buy a souvenir for my mother who loves tableware, so I looked it up on Google Maps and visited the store. The road is narrow, but it's not that difficult to understand. There were so many stylish tableware lined up that I had a hard time deciding which one to buy, but I bought a mug for my 5-year-old niece and a mini-sized soba choko in different patterns for my mother. I gave up on the pattern I liked because it wasn't popular or because they didn't have the color or quantity, but I heard that they also sell it online, so I'm going to try it again. The staff were also polite and very kind. I had some great memories of the trip. (Original) 食器が好きな母にお土産をと思いGoogleマップで調べてお店に伺いました。 道は狭いですがそんなに分かりにくくはないです。 オシャレな食器がずらっと並んでいてどれにしようか悩みましたが、5歳の姪にマグカップと、母にはミニサイズの蕎麦猪口を柄違いで購入しました。 気に入った柄はやはり人気なのか色がなかったり数がなかったりで諦めてしまいましたが、オンライン販売もしているとのことだったのでまた利用してみようと思います。 スタッフの方も丁寧でとても親切でした。 いい旅の思い出が出来ました。
