Geography

Mount Ishizuchi, the tallest mountain in Shikoku at 1982 m is located on the border between Seiyo to the northeast. Because the town is very mountainous, settlements are located along the Omogo River (Niyodo River). The climate is cool and wet in the summer and winters cold with snow. [1]
