Shikoku Feature

Get Off the Concrete: Discover Shikoku's natural charms by rafting, hiking, walking, and swimming. Best of all, bicycle across the Seto Inland Sea on a series of island-hopping bridges.

Get Your Hands Dirty: Try a martial art, make soba noodles, dye fabrics, and learn a two-step in time for the summer dances.

Get Down, Get Funky: Festivals mark every weekend between April and October leading up to the biggest dance festivals in the nation—Yosakoi and Awa Odori.

Get Personal: Encounter Shikoku's legendary hospitality first-hand.

Get Real: Shikoku may very well be the closest a tourist can get to "the real Japan," with its time-forgotten towns like Uchiko and Nishi-Iya, unique landmarks like Dogo Onsen and Kompira-san, and acres of rice.
