Shikoku is an amazing island.To those who have never been, Japan equals Tokyo. However there is another Japan — just as clean, just as polite and with all the same qualities of Japanese culture — but without the complex mazes and crowds of modern cities. Life flows here at an island pace. Shikoku is Island flavored Japan. However there are little to no English services. We can be your local contact or assist in English for all things you need in Shikoku.

Shikoku is best known for the 88 temple pilgrimage. Many seekers of enlightment come to walk this ancient path. The traditional pilgrimage is done on foot however modern transportation is also available.

Shikoku is a small island. You can go to the woods, pristine rivers and beautiful coasts all within a few hours of driving. The inland sea has almost no waves but is full of delicious fish and beautiful views. A lesser known fact, Kagawa prefecture is the least natural disaster prone area in Japan.

Buying an Akiya in Japan can be complicated and hard to navigate. Having done it ourselves we hope to help others who wish to buy an Akiya. The end of the jurney is very rewarding.
