With:Solo
I am visiting Shikoku Island for a solo adventure, drawn by its rich cultural heritage and stunning natural landscapes. This destination offers a perfect blend of history, tradition, and serene outdoor experiences. Over the 10 days, I plan to explore the island's famous pilgrimage routes, visit ancient temples, and immerse myself in local traditions. Staying without a booked hotel allows me the flexibility to explore different parts of the island and perhaps opt for traditional ryokans that offer an authentic Japanese experience. Traveling solo gives me the opportunity to reflect and connect with the surroundings at my own pace.
