- Getting there
- In the Dogo arcade and the Okaido arcades, a short walk from the tram stops; ask at the Dogo Tourist Information Office, 08:30–17:00

Ehime grows 42 kinds of citrus, more than any other prefecture. Unshu mikan starts in September; Beni Madonna runs from late November to mid-January; iyokan, Kanpei and Setoka follow, and Beni Princess from March to early April.
- Reachable on foot from the berth, so no timetable can strand you.
- 3 hr 30 min door to door needs a 5.5-hour call: a 2–3 hour stop cannot hold it. Pick something closer instead.
Where the 3 hr 30 min goes
The hour before all-aboard is not in this bar; it is already set aside. The minutes are our estimates from timetables and maps, not timed on the ground.
If your ship is late, cut the 1 hr 30 min in the middle. Never cut the hour at the end.
What to put beside it
Each of these still lands you back aboard with the hour to spare.
