Settling in Shikoku

Shikoku is renowned for its tranquil countryside, picturesque landscapes, and cultural richness. The island's four prefectures, Kagawa, Tokushima, Ehime, and Kochi, each offer their own unique charm. In these prefectures, you can find small towns and villages that provide a peaceful and authentic Japanese lifestyle. Shikoku is known for its lush greenery, historic temples, and festivals, making it an attractive destination for those seeking a more traditional and slower-paced way of life.

While Shikoku's cities, including Takamatsu and Matsuyama, are smaller in comparison to major metropolises like Tokyo or Osaka, they offer a balance between modern amenities and a relaxed atmosphere. The cost of living in Shikoku is generally lower than in larger cities, which can be advantageous for those seeking affordability in their daily expenses. Shikoku has its share of vacant houses, especially in smaller towns and rural regions, which can provide opportunities for property purchases at lower costs compared to more urban areas.
