Ehime Prefecture 愛媛県

Ehime Prefecture (Japanese: 愛媛県) is a prefecture of Japan location on the northwestern part of Shikoku. It covers 5,676.44 sq km and has a population of 1.43 million people. The capital of Ehime Prefecture is the city of Matsuyama.

Ehime Prefecture was created during the Meiji Restoration from the former Iyo Province. It faces the Inland Sea and is bordered by Kagawa Prefecture and Tokushima Prefecture to the east, and Kochi Prefecture to the south.

Traditionally a land of fishermen, Ehime Prefecture has since industrialized. Today its economy is supported by shipbuilding, oil refining, textile and petrochemicals. Agriculture and fishing still play an important role here. The local produce include citrus fruits such as the mikan (tangerine) and the iyokan, and cultured pearls.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
