Concerning Restaurants & Hotels

Three of Shikoku's four main cities—Takamatsu, Kochi, and especially Matsuyama—specialize in a variety of cuisines at very reasonable prices. In smaller towns expect places to close at 8 PM. Accommodations on Shikoku range from ryokan and minshuku in old homes to international hotels and lavish onsen resorts. Unless otherwise noted, all hotel rooms have private baths, phones, and air-conditioning. Large city and resort hotels serve Western and Japanese food. Reservations are essential during major festivals, and Japanese holiday periods.
