How to Read the Table

  • Direction: This is the “inbound” or “outbound” wording of each page. Each page gives a destination for each direction. Kamibun PA is “Inbound: Kochi direction” and “Outbound: Matsuyama direction”. Irino PA and Ishizuchisan SA are “Inbound: Takamatsu, Kochi, Tokushima direction” and “Outbound: Matsuyama direction”. Sakurasanri PA is “Inbound: Kawanoe direction” and “Outbound: Matsuyama direction”. Iyonada SA and Uchiko PA are “Inbound: Matsuyama direction” and “Outbound: Uwajima direction”.
  • Parking spaces: These are the numbers of large, small and shared spaces in the “Parking” column of the NEXCO West Japan page. The pages do not explain what “shared” means. The numbers of spaces for motorcycles, trailers and people with disabilities are written separately, and they are not in the table.
  • Dora-Plaza: The Dora-Plaza (ドラぷら) site of NEXCO East Japan also gives the number of parking spaces at the same SAs and PAs. Where the numbers differ from the NEXCO West Japan page, both are listed. The pages do not show which number is the current one.
  • Opening hours: These are the hours on the NEXCO West Japan page. Changes caused by construction or night closures are in “Changes With Dates” later.
  • Date checked: October 13, 2026. The pages do not give an update date.
  • Sources column: “NEXCO West Japan” is the facility page of the SA/PA information site. “Dora-Plaza” is the facility page of Dora-Plaza.

The JB Honshi Expressway page says this about how to enter Kurushimakaikyo SA.

※四国側から来島海峡SAへ行かれる場合は、今治ICから流入し、来島海峡SAへお越し下さい。来島海峡SAは上下一体型のサービスエリアです。 ※今治北IC入口からは、来島海峡SAには立ち寄れませんのでご注意下さい。

Translation: “※ To go to Kurushimakaikyo SA from the Shikoku side, please enter at Imabari IC and come to Kurushimakaikyo SA. Kurushimakaikyo SA is a service area combined for both directions. ※ Please note that you cannot stop at Kurushimakaikyo SA from the Imabari-kita IC entrance.”

The rule on the direction at Imabari-kita IC is also in ICs on the Shimanami Kaido and the Matsuyama Expressway Where the Direction You Can Go From the Entrance Is Fixed.

The JB Honshi Expressway list of SA/PA opening hours (dated September 24, 2026) includes the shop, food court and cafe corner of Kurushimakaikyo SA, and the hours are the same as in the table above. Kamiura PA has its name in a heading, but there is no line for opening hours.

The Gas Station Is at Ishizuchisan SA. The Distance to the Next One Is on the Official Map

On the NEXCO West Japan pages checked, only Ishizuchisan SA inbound and outbound had an item for a gas station. Both are Taiyo Oil, 7:00–22:00, and the pages say self-service. The same content is also on the official GS map.

The NEXCO West Japan page “GS map and gasoline prices” asks drivers to refuel early.

高速道路での燃料切れは重大事故につながります。 余裕をもって早めの給油をお願いします。

Translation: “Running out of fuel on an expressway leads to serious accidents. Please refuel early, with time to spare.”

The GS map on the same page (a PDF; the page says “information as of September 7, Reiwa 8 (2026)”) gives the following distances for the expressways in Ehime. The legend of the map explains the red dots as “start and end points of the distance.” The table below shows numbers read by eye from the map.

Section (red dots on the map) Notation on the map
Imabari-Yunoura IC to Iyo-Komatsu JCT (Imabari-Komatsu Expressway) 13km
Iyo-Komatsu JCT to Ishizuchisan SA 2km
Iyo-Komatsu JCT to Seiyo-Uwa IC (Matsuyama Expressway) 98km
Ishizuchisan SA to Kawanoe JCT 50km
Imabari IC to Nishiseto-Onomichi IC (Nishiseto Expressway, Shimanami Kaido) 60km

A note in the margin of this map says it leaves out the SAs and PAs without a gas station. Between Iyo-Komatsu JCT and Seiyo-Uwa IC, and between Imabari IC and Nishiseto-Onomichi IC, no SA or PA with a gas station is on the map. The margin also says “the distances are a guide” (距離は目安です). Whether the map gives different distances for inbound and outbound could not be read from the map.

The JB Honshi Expressway pages of Kurushimakaikyo SA and Kamiura PA have no item for a gas station.

Where EV Quick Charging Is

The NEXCO West Japan page “Refueling and charging (EV quick charging stations)” lists these installed places in Ehime.

  • Matsuyama Expressway: Ishizuchisan SA (both directions, in the Highway Oasis) and Iyonada SA (both directions)
  • Kochi Expressway: Umatate PA (inbound). The same line also has Tachikawa PA (outbound) and Nankoku SA (both directions) in Kochi Prefecture

On the facility page of each SA and PA, the EV quick charging station is open 24 hours. Ishizuchisan SA says “1 charger installed in the Highway Oasis”, and Iyonada SA and Umatate PA say “1 charger installed”. The output (kW) and the operating company were not written on the pages checked.

Kamibun PA, Irino PA, Sakurasanri PA and Uchiko PA have no mention of EV quick charging.

The JB Honshi Expressway page on EV quick charging stations lists only Setoda PA (inbound and outbound) on the Nishiseto Expressway. Kurushimakaikyo SA and Kamiura PA are not listed. This page names e-Mobility Power Co., Ltd. as the operator and gives the hours as 24 hours (open all year).

EV chargers at roadside stations are in the roadside station article.

Changes With Dates: Shorter Hours During Night Closures, Pavement Repair, Renovation

Shorter hours at Iyonada SA (dates in the notice)

The NEXCO West Japan SA/PA information site published a notice dated September 14, 2026 on changes to opening hours during night closures of the Matsuyama Expressway.

Translation: “On the Matsuyama Expressway and the Tokushima Expressway, the opening hours of each shop will be changed as below because of night closures for road construction.”

In the table in the image of the notice, Iyonada SA (both directions, food and goods) is shortened to 7:00–19:00 (last order for food 18:30). The usual hours are written as 7:00–22:00 in the table. Of these dates, the ones from September 28 to October 9 had already ended on October 13, when this was checked.

  • October 5 (Mon) to October 9 (Fri)
  • October 13 (Tue) to October 16 (Fri)
  • Spare days: October 19 (Mon) to October 22 (Thu)

The notes under the table say that the hours of the Welcome Gate follow the opening hours of the areas above, and that the opening hours will also change if a night closure is suddenly canceled. The table does not give the year. The notice is dated September 14, 2026, and the days of the week match 2026.

This notice also covers Yoshinogawa SA and Kamiita SA on the Tokushima Expressway. The hours of EV quick charging are not written in this notice.

Fewer parking spaces at Iyonada SA (outbound) because of pavement repair

The facility page of Iyonada SA (outbound) describes work in the parking lot.

以下の期間、舗装補修工事に伴い、駐車マスが最大約半分まで減少、トレーラーマスが利用不可となります。 令和8年8月24日(月曜)~令和8年10月30日(金曜)

October 13, 2026 is within this period. The page of Iyonada SA (inbound) has no mention of the same work.

Renovation of Ishizuchisan SA (outbound)

At Ishizuchisan SA (outbound, Matsuyama direction), work on the shops continues toward a renewal opening in spring of Reiwa 9 (2027). A NEXCO West Japan notice (dated April 17, 2026) describes the renovation like this.

レストランをフードコート化すると共に、店内内装や照明を一新し、明るく心地よい空間に生まれ変わります。

  • From August 17, phase 2 of the work. The baby corner is closed, and the shopping corner operates on a reduced scale. The diaper-changing tables in the restroom building can be used

The baby corner field on the facility page has this note.

Translation: “※ From 8/17 to the end of October, it cannot be used because of work inside the shop. Diaper-changing tables are in the toilets, so please use those.”

The notices checked do not say how long the reduced shopping corner will continue. Ishizuchisan SA (inbound) has no mention of the same work.

The Date Checked, and What Could Not Be Checked

The numbers and opening hours in the table were checked on each page on October 13, 2026.

  • On the NEXCO West Japan SA/PA information site, the facility page numbers were tried in order, and the pages with an Ehime address were collected. The list page of SAs and PAs could not be obtained (access to the top page was refused). There may be other SAs or PAs on the list that were not collected.
  • The places where the facility page and Dora-Plaza give different numbers of spaces are Ishizuchisan SA (inbound and outbound), Irino PA (inbound) and Iyonada SA (inbound). The reasons have not been confirmed.
  • The pages checked do not say whether the toilets can be used 24 hours.
  • The fuel distances are numbers read by eye from the figure in the GS map PDF. Which IC each red dot is was read from the marks and names in the figure.
  • Opening hours and work periods may change. Before you leave, please check the SA/PA information of NEXCO West Japan and JB Honshi Expressway. Where to look is summarized in Where to Check Ehime Road Information Before You Leave.
