Shikoku Tours & Trips
Think Shikoku is Japan's forgotten island? It's the smallest of four main islands, known for its 88-temple pilgrimage route. Matsuyama has Dōgo Onsen (Japan's oldest hot spring), Takamatsu offers Ritsurin Garden, and Naruto's whirlpools are wild. The island's quieter than Honshu, and the food is excellent. Shikoku rewards travelers who venture beyond the Tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka circuit.
