The sakura cherry blossoms herald spring. We discuss sakura photos sent in by viewers, and look at the blooming forecast and sakura sweets. Michi-no-eki roadside stations, which are found along ordinary roads, promote the region, sell local produce, and offer leisure facilities. Our reporter cycles to 3 michi-no-eki on islands in Ehime Prefecture. He takes in the panoramic view along the Shimanami Highway of the Seto Inland Sea, tries local delicacies, and takes a tour to the whirlpools.
