Shikoku

Shikoku offers a slower rhythm shaped by temple pilgrimage routes, mountain interiors, castle towns, and ports looking across the Seto Inland Sea.

From Matsuyama and Takamatsu to Kochi, art islands, cycling routes, and traditional dance culture, the region rewards travelers looking beyond Japan’s largest cities.

About Matsuyama
Ehime · Shikoku

A Hilltop Castle and Japan’s Oldest Onsen Tradition

Matsuyama is centered on a prominent hilltop castle and is closely associated with Dogo Onsen, one of Japan’s most famous hot-spring districts.

Literary history, tram-lined streets and views over the Seto Inland Sea give the city a relaxed regional character.
