Besshi-Suiha Flower Viewing Road
In the east of Ehime, along the coast to the east of the Ishizuchi Mountains, another range of mountains rise suddenly from the coastline. They are the Akaishi Mountains and the Houou Mountain Range, standing anywhere between 1500m~1700m tall.
Craddled within these mountains is a 65km long driving course that connects the Kokuryo River and Dozan River, offering drivers an amazing view.
It is here, on the Suiha-Besshi Mountain Tourism Route, that you can enjoy the ever-changing seasons and the beautiful flowers that they bring.
