Matsuyama 松山 (http://www.city.matsuyama...), meaning "pine mountain", is the homely capital of Ehime prefecture.

Quite provincial yet hospitable to travelers, and a hub of business and shopping amongst the lazy calm of the countryside, Matsuyama has much to offer in the way of curious literary and cultural assets.
