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.

We’d always wanted to visit Japan and this trip really made our dream come true. Meeting the locals and experiencing their culture was definitely one of the highlights. Everything ran smoothly from the accommodation to the transport and it was all really well organised. Whenever we had a question, journaway got back to us straight away. Overall, it was an amazing trip and we’d highly recommend it!
