Shikoku Mountain Escape
Overview
Discover the hidden magic of rural Shikoku on this immersive day tour through a secluded village nestled within Niyodogawa town. Celebrated for its sweeping springtime cherry blossoms, dramatic autumn gorges, and the vibrant Akiba Festival in February, this remote community offers a rare glimpse into ancient Japanese traditions. Guests will walk the historic festival path to the local shrine, feast on Kochi’s traditional sawachi platter cuisine inside a beautifully preserved heritage home, and connect directly with local festival keepers. The journey concludes with a peaceful visit to a spectacular hillside tea plantation and a relaxing break for fragrant, artisan green tea and local sweets at a charming tea farmer’s restaurant.
