Four major tourist attractions in Japan

Shikoku, Japan is a characteristic place full of humanistic atmosphere. Here, Japan's economy and development are relatively backward. Here you can feel the pleasure from the depths of the soul, because everything is a small and fresh style. This is a detailed travel guide for four countries in Japan.

Compared with other tourist cities occupied by tourists on a large scale in Japan, Shikoku is a very pure region in Japan.

There are mountains, seas, secrets, history, humanities, food and Seto Inland Sea Culture Festival, and the overall expenditure is not very large compared with Osaka, Beijing. Recommend a friend who likes Karl Honnore for a pure four-country trip.

Walk into the four countries

Shikjima is one of the four islands in mainland Japan and the smallest of the four islands in mainland Japan. It lives in the midwest of Japan. It is mainly composed of four counties: Kagawa, Tokushima, Kochi and Ehime.

The four countries have rich natural landscapes, long-standing cultural landscapes and delicious food representing the local cultures of the four countries. There are also some traditional festivals, such as Seto Inland Sea Festival, Abo Festival and so on.

Although the four countries are located on independent islands, they are connected to Awaji Island through Daming Gate Bridge, to this island through Seto Bridge, and to Shimashima Strait Bridge through Tail Road. Osaka, Hiroshima and even Kyushu Island can be reached by boat. It is a place with convenient transportation and various ways of playing.

Four-country cruise

Xiangchuan county

0 1. Xiaoyue Island

There are many large and small islands scattered in the Seto Inland Sea. Otaru Island can be said to be an island that everyone has heard of.

Because the climatic conditions are similar to those in the Mediterranean, the sunshine is abundant, the temperature is suitable for living, and the natural and primitive Mediterranean pastoral features make many TV dramas such as "The Eighth Day of Cicada" and "Faurne" come here to shoot.

There is a place on the island called "AngelWalk", which is a sandbar path in the middle of the sea. It only disappears when the sea ebbs, and it only lasts for a few hours at a time. There is a romantic legend that lovers who love each other can get eternal happiness as long as they walk hand in hand, hence the name "lover's holy land".

Lilin park

It is a famous courtyard in the Edo period, with a vast hinterland and enclosure as the background, including 6 lakes, 13 rockeries and 1000 pine trees.

There are two roads to the park: left and right. It takes about 40~60 minutes to walk half a circle. In addition, you can also choose to take a boat. It is highly recommended to go to Feilai Peak in Nanhu Lake, which is the highest point of the park and can see the beautiful scenery of Lilin Park!

Aiyuan county

02. Songshan City

Songshan City, located in the center of Songshan in Ehime Prefecture, is an ideal city, also known as Jinci City and Shengshan City. It is the largest city in Shikoku and has been guarding the road for more than 100 years.

1602, Ming Kai Kato, commander-in-chief of the Warring States, built a city on the holy mountain and named it "Songshan Mountain". Finally, Tokugawa Ieyasu's nephew Songping entered Songshan City, which was handed down from generation to generation by the Songping family.

It is also a famous cherry blossom viewing place. In spring, there are about 200 cherry blossoms in Chengshan Park around Songshan City. With Songshan City as the background or on Tianshou Pavilion, you can enjoy cherry blossoms from different angles.

Dogo hot spring

Dojo Hot Spring with a history of 3,000 years is the oldest hot spring in Japan. Street hot spring is the most representative hot spring museum behind the road.

This three-story wooden building is the prototype of the movie Spirited Away Chinese Soup Restaurant!

In addition, there are two places in the museum worth visiting! This is a "master's room", which retains the original appearance of the lounge when Natsume Soseki visited.

The other is the only royal bathhouse in Japan, the "Heart with Soul Hall". It is said that emperors of all ages came to Daohou Hot Springs to rest. Now, the magnificent curtains and stone bathhouses in the past have been completely preserved.

Kochi prefecture

03. Forty Wan Chuan

Known as "the last clean river in Japan", there are 40,000 rivers with beautiful scenery and a mirror-like water surface. The submerged bridge standing on the river, from upstream to downstream, is closely tied to the turbulent current of 40 thousand rivers, like the lifeline of this simple town.

The Japanese drama Sunflowers Bloom Late was filmed here. The scenery under the bridge can be said to be the most charming among the 40 thousand rivers. Gray hills are reflected on the Qingcheng River, like a quiet ink painting.

Zuzhe headland, located in Shimizu City, Tosa City, Kochi Prefecture, is the southernmost headland of the four countries. The coastal terrain extending from the headland has breathtaking and magnificent scenery, and there are open beautiful scenery along the way.

From the headland to the west, you can reach the Dragon Palace Shrine, which stands on a huge rock. The bright red torii is in sharp contrast with the deep blue sea. The sound of waves lapping on the shore is definitely a secret place you must go in your life.

Tokushima Prefecture

04. Abo Dance Club

Summer in Japan is always reminiscent of fireworks and festivals. Awaodori Festival held in Tokushima from August 12 to August 15 every year attracts more than 654.38+300 million people. The spectacular and lively Tokushima odori is also known as one of the three major basin dances in Japan.

Although the lively and grand Tokushima Abodori Festival is held in summer, even if you don't come during the festival, you can go to the Abodori Ballroom to watch the performance of Abodori and enjoy the fun of Abodori together.

Gate vortex tide

The most famous tourist attraction in Dingfande Island is the "famous vortex tide". The sea vortex is a world-class magnificent natural scenery, where you can feel the power of nature at close range.

Look at the vortex tide first. The vortex tide is located in the "vortex groove" in the center of the bridge body of Daming Gate Bridge. The vortex tides of Daming Gate Bridge without artificial scenery and Mingmen Bridge without natural scenery can be appreciated again.

It is a brand-new experience to enter the whirlpool area by tidal boat. If you want to shoot the Daming Gate Bridge and the whirlpool at the same time, you can only take a tidal boat!

A trip to a religious shrine

Apart from the beautiful scenery, these four countries have another meaning for the Japanese. There are 488 state-owned temples built by Master Hongdao, the founder of Shinrikyo in Japan. They are monks from Japan studying in Chang 'an in The Legend of the Demon Cat.

For Buddhists who believe in Buddhism, it must be a meaningful way of practice to go to four countries and 88 Dojo once in their lives.

In addition, these 88 Dojo provide Athena Chu service, and you can get a Athena Chu every time you go to Dojo. Collecting 88 Athena Chu is also a good memory.

It is also a special and meaningful journey to feel inner peace and seek Buddha's blessing and care through this form.

Four Kingdoms Gourmet Tour

The different characteristics of nature and agriculture make the four countries and regions form their own unique food culture.

The food culture of Xiangchuan County, which is rich in wheat, is famous for praising oolong noodles. The output and per capita consumption of oolong noodles are the highest in Japan.

The famous oolong noodle in Tokushima Prefecture is not as famous as Zanqi Oolong noodle, but it is also unique and worth tasting.

In addition, Tokushima Lamian Noodles is one of the most famous Lamian Noodles in the four countries. Don't forget to bring a bowl knife when you arrive ~

Sanpen is a snack made of brown sugar, which is very popular in Kagawa and Tokushima counties. The name of Sanpen comes from its manufacturing process of "grinding sugar on the plate for three times". Because it is sweet, it is suitable for making tea.

The catch of snapper in Ehime Prefecture is among the best in Japan, and snapper rice is also a famous local food in Ehime. Delicious fish mixed with glutinous rice is really irresistible.

Although Shikoku is not well-known in China, once you have been here, you will definitely fall in love with its vast seascape, mysterious scenery, cultural heritage and special cuisine.

Bit by bit, multiple experiences make a rich journey. This is a city suitable for walking slowly, experiencing slowly and feeling slowly. Calm down and you will find scenery everywhere and surprises everywhere.
