Matsuyama Station (JR)

This station is the western gateway to Shikoku and a hub for overland travel from outside the prefecture (including Okayama, Takamatsu, and Uwajima). Following the elevation of the railway tracks in 2024, redevelopment of the station plaza has now been completed. The tram stop has been relocated very close to the station building, making transfers considerably more convenient.
