Overview
As one of Japan’s three major karsts, the Shikoku Karst stretches across Ehime and Kochi Prefectures and unfolds along the ridge. This plateau covers approximately 25 km from east to west, adorned with white limestone rocks. Cows graze freely in the expansive grasslands from spring to fall, which creates a serene and picturesque landscape. Representing the Shikoku Karst is a windmill erected as part of an environmentally conscious initiative, proudly asserting its significant presence in the area. Guides well-versed in the Shikoku Karst will lead you to recommended spots on an E-bike, minimizing impact on both the body and the environment. Enjoy cycling at a relaxed pace while feeling the highland breeze against your skin!
