After our mini Pilgrimage we swapped our shoes for train tickets. With a 4-day All Shikoku Railpass we circled around the island. In Matsuyama we enjoyed a bath at Dogō Onsen one of the oldest Onsen in Japan. During the journey to Uwajima we stopped in Uchiko, where we took a look at the manufacturing of japanese candles made from the Sumac tree. Further south we explored the banks of the Shimanto river on bicycles, before continuing to Kochi. There we strolled through Sunday’s market before completing our island circle in Imabari.
