Uomiyama is located near the border with Ehime Prefecture at an elevation of 189 meters, and is said to have gotten its name from the fact that it used to warn fishing boats of the location of incoming schools of fish. Today, the area is maintained as a forest park, and visitors can stroll along the promenade while enjoying the seasonal flowers. It is also a spot with a spectacular view of Hiuchinada and the city, centering on the Takamatsu Expressway stretching northeast from Uomiyama.
