Ehime's famous “Ichiroku Cake Roll,” also known as Ichiroku Tart, dates back to the Edo period. It is said to have developed after Western confectionery techniques were introduced to Shikoku. Its distinctive feature is a soft sponge cake wrapped around yuzu-flavored red bean paste, giving it the appearance of a rolled towel. It was once presented to the emperor and imperial family as a rare delicacy, and it remains one of Ehime's signature traditional sweets today.

ecute Duty-Free Shopping
Tax-free shopping varies by location, but at ecute Shinagawa is a dedicated tax-free counter for shoppers to handle all their tax-free procedures at once. At ecute Ueno, ecute Omiya, and ecute Tachikawa you’ll need to check as you shop at each separate store.
上野ecute有不少特色小店可以逛，像是3COINS、Pensta Suica企鵝周邊，還有各種雜貨、伴手禮等。不過要注意的是ecute位於JR上野站改札內，搭JR出月台後才能逛；如果搭其他地鐵線到上野，無法直接進入，需要另外購買入場券或使用IC卡入場。

The popular coffee shop born in California, USA opened the first shop in Japan in October, 2019, as Kiyosumi Shirakawa Flagship Cafe.
The brand was originally founded in California, USA, and later gradually gained popularity among coffee lovers around the world. You can sense its commitment to coffee quality and minimalist aesthetics. The simple interior design, paired with natural light, makes you slow down without even realizing it. Besides enjoying the coffee, there are also quite a few limited-edition items, and many visitors come specifically to buy them.

Dogo Onsen Annex Asuka-no-Yu bathhouse
This hot spring facility opened in 2017 as a base for introducing a new hot spring culture. Under the theme of "Ancient Dogo," the building incorporates architectural styles from the Asuka Period, which is appropriate for Dogo Onsen, Japan's oldest hot spring.
Dogo Onsen Annex Asuka-no-Yu was designed around the concept of the Asuka period. Both the architecture and interior are distinctive, and you can also see local artwork from Ehime. Compared with the historic Dogo Onsen Main Building, Asuka-no-Yu is newer and more comfortable, with a more modern atmosphere. Each has its own unique character.
