After departing from Nyugawa Station, the train makes a stop at Imabari Station (今治駅), a regional hub known for its shipbuilding industry and the scenic Shimanami Kaido expressway which links Japan’s main islands of Honshu and Shikoku. Along the way, passengers are treated to wide-open countryside landscapes, farmlands, and occasional glimpses of the Seto Inland Sea.

As the train continues toward its final destination, the scenery transitions into the more urban setting of Matsuyama City, the capital of Ehime Prefecture.

This route provides not only efficient transportation but also a relaxing and visually engaging travel experience.

The Limited Express Ishizuchi is one of the main services on the JR Yosan Line, connecting busy cities while also serving smaller communities in Shikoku. With comfortable seating and panoramic windows, the train journey is ideal for tourists and train enthusiasts alike who want to experience the tranquil charm of the region. The video, filmed from an A-seat, maximizes the immersive train experience by showcasing the ever-changing landscape.
