Tours & Activities in Naruto

This is a course to experience the Shikoku Pilgrimage by pottering around. This tour is recommended for those who are interested in the pilgrimage but think it might be a bit difficult to visit 88 pilgrimage sites on foot. We will meet at Tokushima Station and take a JR train to Ikeya Station by bicycle. From the station, we will ride through the countryside with Naruto's lotus root fields and other fields toward Reizanji Temple, the first temple of the Shikoku Sacred Sites. After passing through the shopping street at Bando Station, the pilgrimage route begins with the gate of Reizanji Temple in front of you, and the atmosphere of the pilgrimage is enhanced as you gather your sutra books and costumes at the No. 1 temple. From Reizanji Temple, the pilgrims will take a relatively gentle route in order from Gokurakuji Temple (No. 2) to Kinsenji Temple (No. 3) to Dainichiji Temple (No. 4) to Jizoji Temple (No. 5) to Anrakuji Temple (No. 6), visiting the temples slowly along a walking pilgrimage route with few cars passing by. On the walking course, you can find points with remnants of the Edo period that cannot be discovered if you drive, with the navigator's commentary. In addition to the pilgrimage route, the tour can be combined with other attractive places, such as the venerable Omabiko Shrine and the Ninth Village, which has a tradition of exchange with Germany. We will propose a fashionable and new style of pilgrimage pottering tailored to your needs! (*Courses can be arranged to suit the participants.)

As a rule, reservations are for two persons or more. This is a pottering tour that allows you to enjoy the scenery of Naruto's sea. Starting from the meeting point in the vicinity of JR Naruto Station, you will ride along the Natsuyogawa River road, UZU PARK, and other Naruto city streets, and then take a ferry to Ohke Island. The course along the Naruto Uchinoumi coastline, where oyster farming is thriving, and the Onaruto Bridge can be seen in the distance is exhilarating! If you want to stop by the “Whirlpool Way,” a promenade on the Onaruto Bridge where you can view the whirlpools from above, it is easy to fold up your BROMPTON from the bus stop in front of the Otsuka Museum of Art and cycle it so you do not have to push it uphill.â Around the Onaruto Bridge, there is an observatory overlooking the Senjiki Plain and the Awaji - Kii Waterway, where you can enjoy a spectacular view of the Seto Inland Sea. For lunch, we will suggest local gourmet restaurants, including seafood restaurants, according to your requests. Enjoy the ferry ride and seasonal seafood delicacies unique to Naruto, where you can experience a sense of the extraordinary!
