I, Matsu, would like to note here for the record that I have submitted a work to the “Shikoku Content and Video Festival 2026,” organized by the Shikoku Regional Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and the Shikoku Information and Communications Council.

Location & Directions
Sada Cape Lighthouse
I recommend driving to the Sada Misaki Lighthouse. It takes a little over an hour from Yawatahama City. The Melody Line is easy to drive on, but the distance is simply too long.
If you’re using public transportation, I’ve heard you can take the Ikata Town local loop bus. I’ve never ridden it myself, though.

Short movie
I also submitted an entry in the Short Film category. While this one is just a compilation of drone footage, I gathered some of the unique geological landscapes of Nanyo, so it turned out to be a pretty good video!
