As you probably know, Shikoku comprises four prefectures. You may also know that Shikoku is the smallest of Japan’s four main islands. The Japanese like to think of their country as a tiny place compared to the rest of the world, which is really big. Ask a Japanese person which is the bigger country, Japan or Great Britain, and they’ll unfailingly pick Great Britain. But Japan is actually 2.9 times bigger than England. Japan isn’t a small country by any means. And with its difficult terrain and undeveloped transportation, Japan’s smallest island Shikoku is a big place.

But because Shikoku is a self-contained place, naturally everyone wants to see it in one go. In fact, we offer various tours that take in Shikoku at one gulp. If you have about eight days, you can see what are considered to be the main sights. We offer these tours as a very worthwhile and enjoyable thing to do. If you have limited time, and you want to get a feel of Shikoku, they’re the perfect place to start. Do note though, that you’ll be doing a lot of driving to get between places.
