Ehime Gokoku Shrine is a shrine at Miyuki 1-chome 476, Matsuyama. The area around the Nikitatsu poem monument in the shrine grounds is the Ehime Manyoen, planted with plants that appear in the Man'yoshu poetry anthology; according to the Ehime Manyoen page, it opened on May 5, 1968. In October 2026, a contributor photographed the torii gate and shrine name pillar, the Manyoen marker and information board, and the plant labels with their poems.
The shrine lies west of central Dogo Onsen toward Miyuki, in the same direction as Issoan and Chokenji. Entry to the grounds is listed as free (Walkerplus). The Ehime Manyoen office is in Kinuyama 5-chome, separate from the garden itself. We could not confirm the Manyoen's opening hours.
