Shikoku Karst, Karst landscape at Ehime and Kochi border, Japan
The limestone formations of Shikoku Karst extend across rolling hills and plateaus, reaching elevations of 1,485 meters above sea level.
The limestone formations in Shikoku Karst developed over millions of years through water erosion, creating the current geological patterns visible today.
The local population maintains traditional dairy farming practices on the grassy slopes of Shikoku Karst, continuing generations of agricultural heritage.
Route 383 provides direct access to Shikoku Karst, with the journey taking 80 minutes by car from Susaki-higashi Interchange on Kochi Expressway.
At night, the elevated position and minimal light pollution allow visitors to observe millions of stars against the dark mountain sky.
