Shikoku is the least visited island in Japan. Even though it is amazingly beautiful, very few people make the journey to see us…this makes us sad! We’re trying to change that by having exciting tours and while we’d love you to spend all you holiday with us, we know you’ll also want to see other parts of Japan.
