|
Shikoku is the fourth largest island in Japan, which consists of Ehime, Kagawa, Tokushima and Kochi prefectures. Shikoku is famous for the Shikoku Pilgrimage, which is journey through 88 official temples associated with the Buddhist monk Kukai. It is said wishes will come true after the completion of pilgrimage. Though Shikoku is separated from Honshu and Kyushu by ocean, three bridges made traveling to Honshu a easy task. The bridges are also attractions on their own― Seto-Ohashi Bridge, Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge, and Kurushima-Kaikyo Bridge. Each prefecture in Shikoku has its unique attractions. Various natural landscapes are spectacular and worth seeing.
