	Edutraveller :: Places :: Shikoku Regional Guide
		Shikoku literally means "four countries" and the small island, the fourth-largest in the archipelago, is composed of four prefectures - Ehime, Kagawa, Kochi and Tokushima.
		Being an island, Shikoku has been fairly isolated from the mainland, and with its small population (just over 4 million) the island is in many ways a backwater where you won't find much of the neon signs of Tokyo or the crowds of Osaka.
		Shikoku is best known for its pilgrimage routes, and it is well worth trying at least a part of one route and seeing some of the 88 saced temples (and many other temples) that are dotted all over this green island.

		On the other hand, Shikoku's unique attractions such as the Shikoku Pilgrimage, Kompira worship and the Dogo Onsen hot spring spa have always drawn a large number of people from the capitals and other parts of the main island of Honshu and neighboring Kyushu.
		A new type of attraction in Shikoku is the fruit of modern technology that the waves of development have finally brought here in the 1980's and 90's -- the colossal bridges connecting Shikoku with the main island, pleasure resorts, theme parks, museums, skyline drives and relatively inexpensive golf courses.
		Shikoku, literally meaning Four Lands, consists of four prefectures - Ehime and Kagawa on the Seto Inland Sea side, with Kochi and Tokushima on the Pacific Ocean side.

	Escorted tour of Shikoku Japan
		Everywhere are ancient broad-leaved forests, idyllic hot springs (including, at Dogo, the country's oldest spa resort dating from the 8th century) and timeless rustic hamlets all framed by some of the finest coastal scenery in all Japan.
		For the Japanese, Shikoku is perhaps most famous for its pilgrimage of the 88 Sacred Temples and it is the dearly held ambition of almost all to complete a circuit of the island at some point in their lives, following in the footsteps of the country's greatest saint, the revered Kobo Daishi.
		It is from this pilgrimage that The Oriental Caravan has taken inspiration and direction for its latest exclusive offering and, in keeping with pilgrim tradition, we intend to complete the circuit of the island, albeit by train and bus, in a clockwise manner.

	Japan Regional Leagues: Shikoku League
		The Shikoku Regional League covers the four prefectures on the island of Shikoku.
		Now that two of the three largest cities in Shikoku are represented in the J.League, however, the potential for other teams in the region to follow in their footsteps is somewhat limited.
		However, with Kamatamare Sanuki working to take their performance up a notch, the competition is likely to be even fiercer, this season, and the inconsistency that saw Shimanami lose both home and away contests to the unfancied Ventana AC in 2005 will be a concern.

		This is the Japanese equivalent of the trip to Mecca in Islam or perhaps a Christian visit to the holy land; every practitioner is almost expected to make the 1,000 mile round-trip during at least one point in their lives.

		Shikoku is a beautifully shot and lit supernatural drama, but lacks pace and a sense of dread.
