Road in the Sky

Shikoku Karst spreads along a ridge that spans Ehime and Kochi prefectures. It is a place where you can see the unique scenery of karst, such as the Karenfeld, where white limestone looks like a flock of sheep, and the bowl-shaped depression called Doline. The panoramic scenery and rare highland plants that spread from an altitude of 1000m to 1500m are a must-see! The vast land, the endless blue sky, and the herds of grazing cows are an idyllic landscape. Prefectural Route 383 is also known as the "Sky Road" and is a driving course that runs east to west through Shikoku Karst. If you want to drive to the highlights of Shikoku Karst, make the "Shikoku Karst Transverse Line" your main route. This smooth road with magnificent scenery has been selected as one of Japan's 100 Famous Roads.
