An Island- the smallest of the Japanese archipelago’s four main islands in Japan’s southwest. Shikoku is full of attractions found only here. Whether your first time or returning back-come enjoy Shikoku!

Shikoku is the birthplace of the most revered figure in Japanese Buddhism, the monk and teacher Kobo-Daishi, who brought a populist form of Buddhism to Japan from China in the 9^th century. For hundreds of years, a 750-mile pilgrimage route has circled this mountainous island, connecting 88 separate temples and shrines that claim connection to Daishi, also known as the Great Master.

Yet, this is not merely a place for passive soul-searching. A rugged and ancient Pacific Ocean coastline, gorgeous free-flowing rivers and mountain ranges all beckon to be explored firsthand. If the inner demons are restless, there's also Takamatsu and Kōchi, attractive and youthful cities with excellent regional cuisine and all the trappings of 'mainland' modernity.

Join us on this truly unique cherry blossom tour of Shikoku and as well highlights of the Kansai region: Osaka, Hiroshima, and Miyajima Island. The tour includes an onsen stay in Dogo, 2 hands-on experiences, Japanese paper making and udon making, a bullet train ride, the Aqua Liner cruise, and some if not the best spots in this region for cherry blossom viewing.
