Using Matsuyama as a base for a 5-day visit to Shikoku, I set aside my final day for "seeing the sights" of Matsuyama. Armed with a 1-day tram ticket, I worked my from Matsuyama City Station across the city to Dogo Onsen Station, taking in the likes of Ropeway Street and Matsuyama Castle on the way. The original Iyo Railway (Iyotetsu) was established in 1888 as the 1st railway in Shikoku and only the 3rd private railway in the whole of Japan. The original steam trains (immortalised in Natsume Soseki's 1906 novel - 'Botchan'), were decommissioned after the Iyotetsu introduced electric cars in the 1930's. With Soseki's growing status (as the greatest writer in modern Japanese history), the Botchan Train' was reborn in 2001, with diesel replicas of the original steam locomotives, which to any purist railway buff (like me!) this should be a cardinal sin. After a day of frequently catching glimpses of this anomaly clanking its' way through the streets of Matsuyama ..... turning heads, smiles and waves ..... I just had to give it a go! Getting to Dogo Onsen just before the last Botchan train departure in late afternoon, I climbed aboard with no idea where the train was headed. The two 4-wheeled cars are equipped with fairly basic accommodation; hard wooden benches down either side of the car. Although the two cars probably hold a total of about 36 passengers, I was the only passengers on this last train and was somewhat surprised to find its' final destination was actually Komachi Station. Not to worry ..... just hop on a tram to my next destination (Diamond Cross). It may be a "diesel in disguise" ..... but what a delight!

The opening of the streetcar of TOSADEN TRAFFIC is MAY2,1904. By four small streetcar of 27 capacity,a driver of the gold button- style boarded it and appeared in the town of Kochi breezily. In the open streetcar,We have the oldest history now in Japan. Please enjoy the trip by the streetcar.

Rail line goes north,south,east & west within Kochi City. With a 1 day pass you can hop off & on where you like, tickets can be purchased on board the train for 500 yen per adult.The ticket also entitles you to discounts & benefits at some of the tourist attractions along the train routes. Just get yourself a map and work out what you want to see, it is fairly easy to navigate the routes.

This is a great way to see the surrounding towns and villages near Takamatsu as there are actually three tracks - this one which goes to Kotahira and the famous Konpira-san temple, one that heads west and another which heads east along the coast. You can get a two day ticket for unlimited rides on the whole Kotoden Electric network and its well worth it. I just rode to different stations got off and explored. The eastern track takes you to some beautiful shrines and temples as well as coastal villages.The Kotahira track takes you to Konpira-san so you will probably just sleep on it on the way back after climbing all those stairs up the mountain :-)
