The tram (Routes 1 and 2) is convenient. Following the station-front redevelopment in 2024, the tram stop was relocated close to the station building. Take a service marked “Matsuyama City Station” to reach the city center. If you have a lot of luggage or it is raining, a taxi (roughly the base fare) is also an option.
