Uwajima, Castle town in Ehime Prefecture, Japan
Located along Uwa Bay on the Seto Inland Sea, Uwajima extends across 468 square kilometers of mountainous terrain and coastal areas in southwestern Japan.
During the Heian period, Uwajima developed from a center of maritime activities into a stronghold for the Fujiwara clan's rebellion against imperial authority.
The Date Museum displays an extensive collection of artifacts, including personal items and historical documents from the Date family's 400-year rule over Uwajima.
Travelers reach Uwajima by taking a Shinkansen train to Okayama Station, followed by a limited express train journey through the Shikoku region.
The Tensha-en garden features a central pond shaped like the Japanese character for heart, created under the direction of the seventh Date lord in 1866.
