Book your Regional Japan Rail Pass

The Shikoku Region

Shikoku is known throughout Japan for its famous 88-temple pilgrimage; it seduces visitors with its national parks, castles, onsen and forests. The region is also famous for being the center for agriculture; here you will find the best and the most delicious fruit in the country!

Try some regional dishes on offer from Shikoku's four prefectures Kagawa, Ehime, Tokushima and Kochi, such as Sanuki udon, a specialty since the Edo era. In August do not miss one of Japan's most famous matsuri, the Awa Odori dance festivals held during the Obon festival.
