About this place

Shikoku Karst is a plateau-like karst plateau of limestone at an elevation of about 1,100–1,400 m, located in the southwest of the 'Shikoku Mountains' on the border of Ehime and Kochi prefectures. Together with 'Akiyoshidai' in Yamaguchi Prefecture and 'Hiraodai' in Fukuoka Prefecture, it is often called one of the 'Three Great Karsts of Japan.' At an elevation of about 1,100–1,400 m, the Shikoku Karst is more of a 'highland' than a 'plateau.'
