Flow of the course

About this spot

Inspired by Ryotaro Shiba's novel 'Slope of the Clouds,' this museum introduces the lives of notable figures from Matsuyama during the Meiji period and the progress of modern Japan. The unique building designed by architect Tadao Ando, taking advantage of its triangular plot, is itself a sight worth seeing. The experience of ascending a spiral ramp while viewing exhibits is recommended for architecture-loving families. Located just beside Oodaidori, it offers smooth access to the night festival venue.

Tips

It's convenient to travel from Dogo Onsen by tram toward Oodaidori. Museum admission is required. The air-conditioned interior is ideal for resting from summer street walking.

Best time to visit

Takes about 50 minutes. Early evening hours are relatively quiet, allowing leisurely viewing.
