About JR Shikoku

Unlock the ultimate freedom to explore Japan's serene fourth island with the 5-Day JR ALL Shikoku Rail Pass, offering unlimited rides on JR trains, private railways, trams, and even the Shodoshima ferry. Whether you are chasing the historic 88 Temple Pilgrimage, soaking in Dogo Onsen, or marveling at the Naruto whirlpools, this comprehensive pass is your golden ticket to Shikoku's untouched natural beauty and rich cultural heritage.

Local Legends & Stories

Shikoku is deeply intertwined with the legend of Kobo Daishi, the revered Buddhist monk who founded the Shingon sect and established the famous 88 Temple Pilgrimage over a millennium ago. Locals believe that walking or traveling this sacred route with a pure heart brings spiritual cleansing and the fulfillment of lifelong wishes.

Must Do Experiences

Ride the retro Iyo Railway tram through the charming streets of Matsuyama and visit the majestic Dogo Onsen.
Take the Shodoshima Ferry and Olive Bus to explore the stunning olive groves and cinematic Shodoshima Olive Park.
Journey across the breathtaking Iya Valley on the JR Dosan Line to see the vine bridges and dramatic gorges.
Experience the spiritual atmosphere of Kotohira-gu Shrine by taking the Takamatsu Kotohira Electric Railway directly to the base of the sacred mountain.

Hidden Gems

Hop off at the lesser-known Tosa Kuroshio Railway stations to discover pristine, uncrowded Pacific beaches like Kainan and the stunning turquoise waters of Ashizuri.
Use your pass on the Tosaden Kotsu tram to reach the quiet, historic merchant streets of Harimaya Bridge in Kochi, famous for its Sunday morning markets.
Ride the Asa Kaigan Railway to explore the mystical Ryugado limestone cave, a designated natural monument often missed by standard tourist itineraries.

What Makes it Special

Unprecedented coverage that includes not just JR lines, but also private railways, local trams, and the Shodoshima ferry, eliminating the need to buy separate tickets.
Perfectly tailored for the 88 Temple Pilgrimage, allowing seamless travel between distant spiritual sites across all four Shikoku prefectures.
Offers a rare opportunity to experience Japan's rural heartland, where traditional culture and untouched natural landscapes remain beautifully preserved.

Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

Spring and Autumn offer the most comfortable weather and spectacular scenery, from cherry blossoms in Matsuyama to fiery maple leaves in the Iya Valley. Summer brings vibrant festivals but can be hot and humid, while winter is mild but sees reduced schedules on some rural bus and ferry routes.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

Capture the iconic red torii gates of Kotohira-gu and the retro Iyo Railway trams during the golden hour just after sunrise for crowd-free, beautifully lit shots.
When riding the scenic JR Dosan Line through the Iya Valley, sit on the right side of the train facing south for the best unobstructed views of the dramatic river gorges.
Always ask for permission before photographing locals, especially monks or pilgrims walking the 88 Temple route, to respect their spiritual journey.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

When visiting Shikoku's many temples and shrines, dress modestly, bow slightly before entering the main halls, and avoid loud conversations to respect worshippers. It is customary to purify your hands at the water pavilion before praying, and remember that tipping is not practiced in Japan, including for taxi drivers or tour guides.

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

The Awa Odori Festival in Tokushima in mid-August transforms the city into a massive, joyous dance party and is easily accessible via your JR pass.
The Yosakoi Festival in Kochi in early August features energetic dance teams and beautifully decorated floats that you can reach using the Tosaden Kotsu tram lines.
During spring, the Shodoshima Olive Park blooms with white olive flowers, while autumn brings the spectacular illumination of the Ritsurin Garden in Takamatsu.

Important Guidelines & Safety

Essential safety information and guidelines

Stay well behind the yellow tactile paving lines on train platforms, especially at rural stations where express trains pass through at high speeds.
If hiking to remote temples or exploring Shodoshima's nature trails, carry plenty of water, wear sturdy shoes, and be aware of seasonal wildlife like pit vipers and wild boars.
Keep a physical or downloaded offline map of your route, as mobile phone reception can be spotty in Shikoku's deep mountain valleys and coastal gorges.

Visitor Information

Entry Fee

The 5-Day JR ALL Shikoku Rail Pass is priced at a flat rate for adults, with discounted rates available for children aged 6 to 11, while children under 6 travel for free.

Visit Duration

To fully maximize the 5-day pass, dedicate at least one full day to each of Shikoku's four prefectures, prioritizing the Iya Valley, Matsuyama Castle, Kochi Castle, and the Naruto whirlpools. If short on time, focus on the scenic JR Dosan Line and the cultural highlights of Takamatsu and Matsuyama, which are easily connected by the rapid Marine Liner.

Accessibility
