Chugoku & Shikoku REGION
Dive into two diverse Japanese regions with Chugoku and Shikoku! Chugoku, on the Honshu mainland, pulses with history and nature. Hiroshima, reborn from wartime ashes, showcases vibrant peace memorials and the Itsukushima Shrine, floating serenely on the Seto Inland Sea. Explore Okayama, nicknamed "Fruit Kingdom," for juicy grapes and Koraku-en Garden's exquisite landscapes. Venture across the sea bridge to Shikoku, an island gem dotted with temples and charming towns. Kagawa, the smallest prefecture, entices with the udon noodle havens and the art-infused island of Naoshima. Cross over to Ehime, where Matsuyama's majestic castle watches over verdant hills, beckoning you to soak in rejuvenating hot springs. From bustling metropolises to hidden shrines, Chugoku and Shikoku offer a kaleidoscope of experiences waiting to be savored.
