Getting Around
Taking a direct train from Okayama to Takamatsu, via the
Seto-Ohashi Bridge, is the most popular gateway for SAPPORO
tourists traveling from Honshu to Shikoku. Matsuyama,
the island’s main city, has an airport with good links to Sea of Japan
(East Sea)
other parts of Japan. There is no shinkansen line, but the
other types of train lines are efficient and connect all
the main towns. However, unless you plan to emulate
walkers on the 88-Temple Pilgrimage, it is best to rent TOKYO
a car to explore the mountainous interior and visit KYOTO
the rugged southern capes. OSAKA
