Masaki

Masaki is a town in Iyo District, Ehime Prefecture, situated at the southern edge of the Dogo Plain. It spreads across flat terrain and faces the Seto Inland Sea in northwestern Shikoku.

The settlement was established as a municipality in December 1889 and became a town on October 31, 1922. This change marked a turning point in its development as an organized administrative unit.

The industrial center maintains strong connections with neighboring Matsumae through municipal partnership programs that facilitate regular community exchanges.

The town is well connected through a dense road network that links it to major locations across Ehime Prefecture and the Shikoku region. This infrastructure makes it straightforward to reach various destinations in the surrounding area.

The town is the only territory in Ehime Prefecture without mountains and spreads more from east to west than north to south. This flat geography sets it apart distinctly from the surrounding areas.
