This town, Iwamatsu, is in the southwestern part of Ehime Prefecture, Japan.
It is a former port town located near the mouth of the river.
During the Edo period, it flourished as a distribution center for goods.
Bunroku Shishi, a popular novelist of the Showa period, was evacuated here during the Pacific War.
His novel “Tenya Wanya” was based on his experiences here.
In addition, “Zensuke Mochi,” a confectionery derived from the episode in the novel, is a famous souvenir of Iwamatsu.
