    If you have completed all of the routes in the four prefectures of Shikoku, please submit your certificate for each of the four prefectures to the representative for any prefecture.
    After reviewing your application, we will issue you a certificate for having completed all of the routes in Shikoku.

A Shikoku no Michi portal site was created with the collaboration of the four prefectures of Shikoku.

The Shikoku no Michi portal site introduces the highlights of each course and provides directions using Google Maps. Smartphone owners can check their current location on the course. Currently, 11 courses x 4 prefectures = 44 courses are publicized, and we will continue to add more courses and improve user convenience in the future.
