Komatsushima City faces the Kii Channel. It is known for the legend that Minamoto no Yoshitsune landed here to defeat the Taira, and for the folk tale of Kincho the tanuki (raccoon dog) in the Awa Tanuki War. Onzan-ji and Tatsue-ji are temples of the 88-temple Shikoku Pilgrimage. Once a port for the Kansai route, the city now promotes medical and welfare services.
