Seiyo 西予市, Ehime Prefecture

Seiyo (Japanese: 西予市) is a city on the south-central part of Ehime Prefecture, on the island of Shikoku, Japan. It covers 515 sq km (199 sq mi) and has a population of 42,600 people (2012 estimate). The present boundary dates from 2004, when Seiyo annexed the towns of Akehama, Nomura, Shirokawa, Uwa and Mikame.

Seiyo is renowned for its spring water. This is from the natural spring in the former town of Uwa, which is today part of Seiyo. The water has been recognized as one of the 100 best water sources in Japan by the Ministry of the Environment.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
