Sadamisaki Peninsula

My spouse and I are going to Shikoku for the first time in early November. We will spend a few nights in a ryokan in Misaki, waaaaayyyyyy down at the end of the peninsula. I’m looking for folks who have made that trip and am curious what the real-world travel to and from Misaki and Matsuyama is like. Right now we’re planning on renting a car for that round trip, but also to have mobility in the area. Anyone out there with experience they’d like to share? TIA
