How to get to Shikoku
|
|
All trains from Japan's main island Honshu to Shikoku depart from Okayama and cross the Seto Inland Sea via the Seto-Ohashi Bridge, which was completed in 1986.
Cars and buses can access Shikoku from Honshu via 1) the Akashi Kaikyo and Onaruto Bridges between Kobe and Tokushima, 2) the Seto Ohashi Bridge between Okayama and Kagawa and 3) the Setouchi Shimanami Kaido between Imabari and Onomichi, Hiroshima Prefecture.
Shikoku is also well connected by air with Japan's major airports. Furthermore, there are several ferry routes, connecting Shikoku with Hoshu and Kyushu.
