Futami Seaside Park

**Time it for sunset and nothing else.** The whole park is oriented west across the Iyo-nada. In the middle of the day it is a roadside station with a beach. **Park here for Shimonada.** JR asks tourists not to use Shimonada Station's car park, and this roadside station is the recognised alternative — park here and take the train one stop. **Eat the jakoten.** The market sells the local fried fish cake made from whole small fish, ground bone in, which is a southern Ehime speciality. **Sunset time moves a lot.** From about seven in midsummer to five in December. Check before planning the evening around it. **Combine with the coast drive.** Route 378 along the Iyo-nada between Matsuyama and Ozu is called the Yosan Line coastal road and is the reason to be on this shore at all.
