Ainan, Administrative division in Minami-Uwa County, Japan

Ainan is a town in southern Ehime Prefecture made up of several districts including Mishohirajo, Akamizu, and Atsumori spread across the region. The area is connected by local roads and organized into different postal code zones.

This area was established as an administrative division within Minami-Uwa County during Japan's modernization in the 19th century. The municipal structure followed organizational principles introduced during the Meiji period.

Local people here practice traditional farming methods, especially rice cultivation, which shapes the rhythm of community life and local celebrations throughout the year.

The area can be explored along local roads that connect the various districts together in a network. Finding your way is helped by the postal code zones that clearly mark each area.

The scattered arrangement of districts here follows the natural landscape rather than a central plan, which reflects how communities adapted to the local terrain over time. This pattern shows how settlement developed along rivers and valleys in the region.
