The shopping street spreading through downtown Yawatahama is dotted with restaurants serving the long-loved local specialty, Yawatahama Champon. This gently flavored noodle dish, seasoned with a seafood-based broth, is popular with visitors as a dish unique to this port town. The shopping street is also home to old-fashioned general stores and sweet shops, letting you experience everyday life in the port town as you stroll along. It is also a good idea to have a light meal here before the fireworks festival.
