Tips
There is a morning market here, where you can buy things cheaply; there are all kinds of things to eat and play. There is also a drugstore, so it is a relatively lively and busy place in Matsuyama.
The shopping street is right across the street from the hotel, so I went inside at night to find a place to eat, and shopping is also good, with drug stores and MUJI.
It is one of the shopping areas in the center of Matsuyama. It is a pedestrian street with arcades partially covering the ceiling. Okaichi is considered the most popular shopping street in Matsuyama. There are train bus stops and many hotels on both sides of the intersection of Okaichi Shopping Street (such as ANA, Hotel Radiance Okaichi, Tokyu Hotel, Daiwa Ruchi, etc.), so it is very convenient for food, lodging and transportation. 5 minutes walk from the north side of the intersection of Okaichi Shopping Street, you can reach Matsuyama Castle Cable Car Station and Sakagami-no-un Museum.
The shopping street with a canopy has a tram stop and a long-distance bus stop at the north end, which is also right across the road to Matsuyama Castle. There are small stores and restaurants right next to the main street, which is very life-like, and Mitsukoshi Department Store is right next to the north exit, which is very convenient! The entrance of dormy inn is also on the street, which is easy to find.

It is very lively, and there are performances on Saturday and Sunday. There is a big muji when you enter the main street, and there are many izakayas inside, but most of them are only open until 22:00 local time, so you should go early.
