Shikoku Karst Natural Park

Discover the mesmerizing Shikoku Karst Natural Park, a jewel of Kochi Prefecture. Stretching 25 kilometers, this stunning landscape boasts one of Japan's three major karst formations, featuring dramatic limestone outcrops and conical sinkholes.

The park is between 1,000 and 1,500 meters and offers breathtaking views of Mount Ishizuchi and the surrounding mountains. As the seasons change, so does the park's beauty. 

Spring transforms the area into lush grasslands, summer brings a burst of alpine flora, autumn paints the landscape in vibrant hues, and winter blankets the park in snow. Visitors can explore the picturesque Tengu Plateau, where dairy cows graze peacefully, and enjoy stargazing under the clear, high-altitude skies.

Wander through trails like the Woodland Therapy Road, where paths covered in Japanese cypress woodchips offer a soothing experience. Whether hiking, taking in the panoramic views, or simply enjoying the tranquil atmosphere, Shikoku Karst Natural Park is a must-visit for nature enthusiasts.

Plan your visit to this enchanting park and immerse yourself in its natural splendor.
