About This Tour

Departure: Takamatsu Arrival: Kobe Sannomiya/Shin-Kobe Join us on a self-discovery journey along the Shikoku Pilgrimage, where you will dress as pilgrims and walk from Ryozen-ji to Gokuraku-ji Temple while learning about the rituals and meanings of this practice. After that, immerse yourself in the ancient tradition of Japanese Puppet Theatre on Awaji Island. Here, you will not only enjoy a professional show but also take part in a backstage tour to uncover the secrets of these intricate puppets.

Inside the bus, our dedicated attendants will cater to your every need, providing beverages, travel tips, and unparalleled service in both English and Japanese.
