With its beautiful coastline, mountains and rivers, the island of Shikoku is blessed with a rich natural landscape. The unspoiled rivers include the Shimanto River, known as the last remaining clear stream in Japan, and the Yoshino River, with clear emerald-green water. The views of the scattered archipelagos of the Seto Inland Sea are stunning, in addition to the sublime scenery of the Sanuki Mountains in the center of Shikoku and the spectacular Shikoku Karst.
