Uwajima is fairly spread out, but the few sights of interest are nearby and can be reached on foot from the center of town.
Uwajima Castle (宇和島城 Uwajima-jō) occupies a strategic location at the heart of the city, and unlike most of Japan's castles is actually an original dating to 1665, not just a ferroconcrete shell.
Uwajima's main claim to fame is bull sumo (牛相撲 ushizumō), where two bulls decked out with holy ropes grapple each other by the horns and attempt to push each other out of a sumo ring.

 CNN.com - Letter from the Mayor of Uwajima, Japan - February 19, 2001
Uwajima is a small, close-knit fishing community and such beliefs are still strongly held.
After listening to the stories of the survivors, rescued thanks to the diligent work by the U.S. Coast Guard and Navy, even though two people, one high school student and one crew member, were seen on the deck as the accident happened, they have yet to be found.
Please listen to the voices of the families and people of Uwajima who are hoping that those nine missing people, four of which are high school students, will still be rescued.

 UWAJIMA, Uwajima Tourist Information and Travel Guide at InfoHub.com
You can easily walk between Uwajima's main sights, but they are a little scattered, so renting a bike (available from the youth hostel or the information centre at ¥100 per hour) is a good idea.
The castle is a fifteen-minute walk south of the JR station, while the Taga-jinja sex shrine, across the Suka-gawa river, is a ten-minute walk to the north.
Uwajima's most notorious attraction, the fertility shrine Taga-jinja, is set back from the Suka-gawa river, a short walk north of the JR station.

 The Honolulu Advertiser | Local News
For generations, Uwajima’s people have lived off the sea - from the pearls collected by divers to the big yellowfin tuna brought back by its fishermen.
This voyage was to be a rite of passage for students at the high school, one of 47 maritime schools in Japan.
A weary Kei Kogane, who has taught fishing for 22 years, described his colleague, missing teacher Jun Nakata, 33, as "young, more like a big brother than a teacher to his students." The other teacher still at sea, Hiroshi Makizawa, 37, is "the quiet type, but has a strong sense of responsibility," he said.
