Shikoku (四国, "four provinces") is the smallest (225 km or 139.8 mi long and between 50 and 150 km or 31.1 and 93.2 mi wide) and least populous (4,141,955 as of 2005) of the four main islands of Japan, located south of Honshu and east of the island of Kyushu. Its ancient names include Iyo-no-futana-shima (伊予之二名島), Iyo-shima (伊予島), and Futana-shima (二名島). The current name refers to the four former provinces that made up the island: Awa, Tosa, Sanuki, and Iyo.
Shikoku island, comprising Shikoku and its surrounding islets, covers about 18,800 square kilometres (7,259 sq mi) and consists of four prefectures: Ehime, Kagawa, Kōchi, and Tokushima. Across the Inland Sea lie Wakayama, Osaka, Hyōgo, Okayama, Hiroshima, and Yamaguchi Prefectures on Honshu. To the west lie Ōita and Miyazaki Prefectures on Kyushu.
The 50th largest island by area in the world, Shikoku is smaller than Sardinia and Bananal, but larger than Halmahera and Seram. By population, it ranks 23rd, having fewer inhabitants than Sicily or Singapore, but more than Puerto Rico or Negros.

In 1858, in an unassuming town in the southwest of France, a 14-year-old peasant girl named Bernadette Soubirous claimed she had 18 encounters with the Virgin Mary. Since then, Lourdes has become one of the holiest Catholic pilgrimage sites in the world, visited annually by more than five million people who come in search of healing from its sacred waters. Since the end of World War II, soldiers from around the world have journeyed to Lourdes seeking healing and unity with one another at a week-long gathering known as the International Military Pilgrimage.
The place to experience Japan’s ancient past is Shikoku, an island famous for its ‘Shikoku Henro’. The word ‘Henro’ means pilgrim, and the best way to visit ‘Shikoku’ is to walk some of its many pilgrimage paths. In so doing, the visitor follows the footsteps of Japan’s most celebrated philosopher-poet, the Buddhist monk Kukai who lived here in the early 9th century.

Trip to Japan's 4th largest island, Shikoku. Includes stops at Himeji Castle, train trip on the Marine Liner from Okayama to Takamatsu, Ritsurin Garden, Yakuri Temple, and traveling by car up the Iya Valley, which is known for being one of the last few vestiges of old world Japan with its dramatic mountain valleys, thatched roof farmhouses and historic vine bridges. We spent one night at Chiiori, a 300 year-old farmhouse (restored with modern conveniences) located high up in the mountains of Iya Valley.
Nagoro is a village in the Iya Valley on the island of Shikoku in Tokushima Prefecture in Japan. It is known for the large number of realistic scarecrows positioned throughout the village, which have made it a tourist attraction.
Located in the Iya Valley in Shikoku Japan, the Kazurabashi Bridge is a bridge made of vines crossing the Iya River. A major tourist attraction in the area, this bridge charges a "toll" of 500 Yen to cross.

ride over the great seto-ohashi to the awesome island of japan. marugame jo,zentsuji and kompira-san
Children play in the park, they don't know
I'm alone in the dark, even though
Time and time again I see your face smiling inside
I'm so happy
That you love me
Life is lovely
When you're near me
Tell me you will stay
Make me smile
Living life is just a game so they say
All the games we used to play fade away
We may now enjoy the dreams we shared so long ago
Oh my darling, got to have you. Feel the magic when I hold you
Cry sweet tears of joy, touch the sky
Now I need you more than ever. No more crying - we're together
