Water - a source of life and a source for people to live on. It also changes in tide and assists in the movement of people. At the entrance gate to Shikoku, Japan, you will find Naruto that reminds you all these things. But most importantly, head to the sea and ask yourself, what is the best thing that you want to give thanks for in every trip - is it the silence you can take or that you are just here yourself? The turns of the tides and the spirals will stimulate but do be aware not to fall off the ship when you are thinking - so my best advice is if you are to think, take a bigger ship.
Heading to Shikoku may seem mysterious as it is a bit far away from the cities we are so used to - Tokyo, Nagoya, or Osaka (which is the nearest). Here in Shikoku you are searching for the silence to rest your mind and be at peace, so do not expect to go shopping in malls or having delicate food (well they do have some, but not the best).
Try heading towards to the onsen hotels for relaxation but do be aware of the traffic as roads in Shikoku can get really narrow. Most of all, stay calm and rest your mind in the sulphuric warm water (it's not too hot so don't worry). And just enjoy the magnificent scenes that mother nature (or God whom we trusted Him) has created.
