Were you already thinking you'd need to skip Shikoku on a trip around Japan? Think again! I'll tell you how easy it is to include the island region of Shikoku on ANY Japan itinerary.

Errata: At 11:08 we said that "Ehime" was our arrival point to Shikoku when we meant Kagawa Prefecture. Marugame is Kagawa's gateway into Shikoku!

Land bridge entry points:

-Akasahi Kaikyo Bridge route

-Central Route via the Great Seto Bridge

-Onomichi-Imabari Route (Shimanami Kaido)

"Rail Pass route" locations mentioned

Marugame

Kotohira & Kompirasan

Niihama Taiko Festival

Matsuyama

Yawatahama Ferry Terminal
