SHIKOKU
Tell me about the fascination of Shikoku!
Blessed with a warm climate, Shikoku is a treasure island where you can enjoy untouched natural beauty of the sea, mountains, and rivers including the Shimanto River, the last undammed river in Japan and the secluded region of Iya. You can find a peaceful and warm culture of hospitality rooted here: the Shikoku Pilgrimage with its 1200 years of history, historic townscape where you can interact with people preserving the classic way of life, and local cuisine using the fresh ingredients to the full.

q
What’s there for sightseeing in Shikoku?
2014 marks the 1200th anniversary of the initial opening of the Shikoku Pilgrimage. In recent years, this pilgrimage is seeing increase in walkers from overseas as well. People who have walked “Way of Saint James (El Camino de Santiago)” in Spain also visit this Shikoku Pilgrimage too. Also, a friendship agreement was formed with the Korean Jeju Island Walking Group “Jeju Olle”, and the exchanges and interaction of people has begun setting the former pilgrim trails with ancient natural trails as a “friendship trail”.
A
When is the best season to visit?

The island also features a museum of architecture which is designed by the Pritzker Architecture Prize-winning architect Toyo Ito, a garden replicating Monet’s paintings in Kitagawa Village called Monet’s Garden Marmottan, and many other art attractions. It’s also worth a look at the collection of life-sized reproductions of world-famous artworks printed on ceramic boards at the Otsuka Museum of Art (→P.19).

Eating “Sanuki Udon” is a must in Kagawa! In Kagawa, there are approximately 800 to 900 udon restaurants, making it what people call the udon prefecture. Each restaurant has its own ordering system and there are lots of different styles, so master the basics before you go.
Ordering Glossary Kake
●かけ
Hot noodles in broth. The orthodox udon.
Kamaage ●釜揚げ Noodles are served in the hot water used for boiling, and dipped in a side of broth for eating.
Ordinary Restaurants
This restaurant offers style just as common ones, where staff will come to your seat to take your order. Pay after you eat.
Before sitting down, go to the counter to order and pay for your food, then bring your food to your seat yourself. After eating, return your dishes to a designated place. There are precise other rules that differ from restaurant to restaurant, so
Self-serve watch what other people do and copy them. Restaurants

Noodles cooled by cold water are served in cold broth.
These diners are located inside udon noodle factories, and it s often difficult to tell that it s a restaurant from the outside appearance. The ordering system is the same as self-serve restaurants, but most restaurants have short operating hours.
Traffic Light
Bukkake ●ぶっかけ Strong-flavored broth is poured directly on noodles and eaten. This brings out the great flavor of the noodles.

Kochi people are well-known for their love of good drink, and they have fun with lively atmosphere at banquets. One popular game is called bekuhai, where people spin a top, and whoever the shaft of the top is pointing at when it stops spinning has to drink out of the mask that shows on the top. It s a great game for people who love to drink. Unique bekuhai sets with mask-shaped cups are popular souvenir items.

Iya Sightseeing Highlight The Secret Story of the Iya Kazura Bridge
he Kazura Bridge in Iya, home of the legend of a Heike fugitive clan, has long been a place where the sad story of the Heike clan is told. It is said that kazura bridges, strung across a deep gorge, were built by the Heike clan approximately 800 years ago when they escaped to Iya after losing the battle at Yashima to the Minamoto clan, and the bridges were made of natural kazura vines so that they could be cut down quickly if the clan had to make an escape from pursuers. In those days, many bridges were used as a part of common pathways, but now they are only located in two places, Iya and Oku-Iya, and preserved for sightseeing purposes. The Iya Kazura Bridge is a nationally designated important tangible folk-cultural asset, and in February of 2012, the bridge was rebuilt as it is once every three years. The Niju-kazura two vine bridges in Oku-Iya, the man s bridge and woman s bridge, was rebuilt in April 2012.
