Welcome to Hearts of Japan.

Thank you for the pictures of Shikoku! You make me more excited to go!

You're very welcome. I hope you'll enjoy your time there. ^_^

Be sure to try out the local dishes there such as sanuki-udon, found in Kagawa-ken, and best enjoyed in Takamatsu. Also, even though Shikoku is not very often visited by tourists, the island actually has some of the most beautiful scenery: tranquil islands, gardens, and ancient pilgrimages. And there's also Matsuyama's splendid castle and hot springs near Dogo.

Let me know if you have any other requests/questions. :)
