Booking a Holiday with Shikoku Tours

We offer a range of preplanned tours, based on years of experience. These tours are designed to show you the best of Shikoku, efficiently and in comfort. We’ve found that a charter vehicle with your own driver is the best way to get around – you won’t get lost, you don’t have to carry your own luggage, and you can go to the many places in Shikoku not served by public transport. Where public transport makes sense, we use it. Our tours are ideal for couples or small groups.
