Hiking Trails in Shikoku
3 trails in this region
Shikoku is synonymous with pilgrimage hiking — the 1,200-kilometer Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage (Henro) is one of the world's great walking journeys. Beyond the Henro, Mount Tsurugi and the Iya Valley offer rugged mountain hiking through dramatic gorges crossed by vine bridges. The island's compact size means coastal, mountain, and forest trails are always close, and fellow hikers are few.

Before adding this hike
- Start with trailhead access, weather backup, and post-hike lodging before choosing a regional hiking route.
- Coastal walks, low mountains, alpine routes, and plateaus in the same region can require very different gear.
- If this region has fewer listings, compare type pages to avoid forcing a thin itinerary.
