Shikoku Karst National Park

Touch the Sky, Fascinating flora, Fauna and Rocky Outcrops in Deep Shikoku
The park covers Shikoku Karst, one of Japan’s three largest karst landforms. To experience nature of a different kind, consider a visit to Shikoku Karst, a geological formation caused by the erosion of limestone hillsides. The sweeping grasslands of the area are scattered with white limestone mounds and conical sinkholes.

The Karst extends along rolling mountains and has multiple trails with expansive panoramas of the Shikoku region and the Atlantic Ocean. The Tengu Plateau is known as an area where milk cows are pastured. You can view scenery that varies from season to season, such as grassland in spring, alpine plants in summer, silver grass and autumnal leaves in fall, and snowy landscapes in winter.

You will be fascinated by the beauty of the changing seasons. The park commands a panoramic view of plains and you can see the starry sky at night. Trails have been built in the park and some of them, covered with Japanese cypress woodchips, wind through forested areas, offering visitors a comforting environment and therapeutic effects.
