Charms of nature discovery tours in Shikoku

Shikoku lies between the Honshu mainland (where Tokyo and Osaka are located) and the island of Kyushu (where Fukuoka Prefecture can be found). It is an island of abundant nature, surrounded by peaceful seas. Each of its 4 prefectures has its own distinctive sightseeing spots to fully experience nature, and gourmet foods to enjoy, so this time we're serving up a full helping of attractions!

【Kagawa Prefecture】

Nestled between Takamatsu airport and the sea, Kagawa Prefecture can be reached by train from Okayama Prefecture (Honshu). It's the smallest in Japan by area, but so many sights are concentrated into this prefecture! Let's go visit the attractions of Shodoshima Island, about 60 minutes from Takamatsu harbor.

◆Kankakei Gorge

Here you can appreciate the rich, green scenery of Kankakei gorge, which is counted among the top three most beautiful gorges in Japan. Revel in the beauty of nature from the cable car or while hiking.

◆Michi-no-Eki Shodoshima Olive Park

The perfect place to unwind while savoring gourmet food, which is produced using local ingredients and natural hot springs. It's fun to hunt for souvenirs made from the famous locally-grown olives!
