Hotel Clement Uwajima

Hotel Clement Uwajima is the premier accommodation in Uwajima, a coastal city on the southern Pacific coast of Ehime Prefecture, connected directly to JR Uwajima Station via an enclosed walkway. Uwajima sits approximately 90 minutes by limited express train from Matsuyama and serves as the primary base for exploring southern Ehime's distinctive cultural and natural assets: Uwajima Castle, a rare surviving original-structure coastal castle dating to 1601 and one of only twelve original unmodified tenshu keeps remaining in Japan; the Taga-jinja shrine complex with its unusual historical collections; the Tōgyū (bull sumo) arena at Nagahama; and the pearl and sea bream aquaculture operations of the Uwa Sea. The hotel occupies the station-integrated position that Clement properties operate across the JR Shikoku franchise network, placing it at zero transfer distance from trains, taxis, and the city's main bus connections. The 13-storey building is the tallest in central Uwajima and commands views of Uwajima Bay and the broader Uwa Sea from upper-floor windows. Room configurations include single, double, and twin categories furnished in a clean contemporary Japanese business hotel style with reliable Wi-Fi, Western-style beds, and en-suite bathrooms. Upper-floor bay-view rooms look over the fishing harbour and open water. The on-site restaurant is a practical strength: the menu focuses on local seafood — particularly Uwa Sea tai (sea bream), jakoten fish cakes made from Uwa Sea white fish that are a regional speciality, and seasonal shellfish. Breakfast is a buffet option. Parking is available for self-driving guests, important since Uwajima's attractions spread across a wide area best covered by car or taxi. The front desk provides information on Tōgyū event dates and can assist with tours and regional transport.
