I am planning a solo trip to Shikoku Island, a beautiful and less-traveled part of Japan, from July 10 to July 20, 2025. With its stunning natural landscapes and rich cultural history, Shikoku offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of more popular tourist destinations. During my 11-day journey, I look forward to exploring traditional villages, visiting historic temples along the famous Shikoku Pilgrimage, and indulging in local culinary delights. As I'm traveling solo, I'll be staying at various guesthouses and ryokans to immerse myself in the local culture and meet fellow travelers. This trip promises to be an enriching experience, blending relaxation, adventure, and cultural discovery.
