We got up earlier than yesterday to go to Matsuyama.
We boarded local train to Tadotsu, and then changed trains to Limited Express "Shiokaze".
Though final destination is Matsuyama, we alighted from train at Iyo-Saijo to see The Railway History Park in Saijo.

Shiokaze Train
Tram in front of the station took us to Matsuyama-shi Station. That's because we wanted to visit Bocchan Train Museum, which is train history museum dedicated to Iyo Railway running around Matsuyama. I was interested at the location. It's inside Starbucks.
