Discount for return tickets

by salisbury3933

JR Shikoku offers a lot of discounts for people getting return tickets on express trains, and offers a further discount for a lot of routes when you purchase 4 or 10 tickets.For example, one way Matsuyama-Niihama on an Express service is 2900 yen, but a return ticket is 5000, and 4 tickets are 9000 yen or so.

JR Trains in Ehime

by salisbury3933

There are express trains from Matsuyama down to Uwajima (via Uchiko), and express trains Eastward from Matsuyama bound for Okayama and Takamatsu. Note that the train for Okayama/Takamatsu separates further down the line, so it's best to make sure you are in the right carriage.The line does continue from Uwajima to Kochi as well. I've never caught this train, so I don't know what it's like.

Numbered stations

by salisbury3933

All JR Shikoku stations are now numbered.As Matsuyama is at the end of the Yosan line from Takamatsu, and the start of the Uwajima line, it has two numbers, starting with Y and U respectively.

There's only one airport in the prefecture, in Matsuyama to be exact. For flight details see my Matsuyama page.
