That sounds fabulous Jill, renting the car will open up many extra opportunities for sightseeing stops along the way. We haven't made it to Shikoku yet and our May itinarary is already reaching capacity so still have plenty of reasons to head back. Have a great time!

Have you explored the Iya Valley on Shikoku Island at all?
I am wanting to include it in my itinerary but it all seems too complicated to get to this fascinating part of the island as public transport is infrequent and unreliable!
I know I could hire a car but the roads are very windy and narrow so this has put me off a bit (especially being a solo traveller of a 'certain age' 🙂
But yes...loved your blog and really excited about visiting the mountain (have decided to hire a car from Kisarazu and drive down to Mt Nokogiriyama and then drive across to the Nozomi waterfall and Kameiwa Cave to make the most of being in Chiba prefecture).
Best regards and here's to many more wonderful travels/stories/memories for you!.

Hi Dana. We didn't have as much free time as we expected as we found several different paths up and down the mountain and wound our way up and down a couple of times. We normally try to pick somewhere en route to stop if there isn't something else really close by. If you are taking the train then Chiba is an option, not a main tourist area by any means but the castle has a good folk museum, you can take Japan largest hanging monorail (an unusual experience if you haven't done the one at Enoshima) from Chiba station to Kencho-mae stop then walk through the park to the castle, it's not a must-see castle but something different and then perhaps have dinner in town there. If taking the ferry I'd probably make the crossing back and detour slightly to Yokohama for the afternoon and dinner before returning to Tokyo. Enjoy your trip!

Your post convinced me to explore Mt. Nokogiriyama in a few weeks. Do you have any recommendations for anywhere nearby to check out after being done with Nokogiriyama itself?

Thanks Katie! I love the connection with others who find Japan as irresistible as we do. It's a country where we continue to find something new and beautiful every visit.

This year I will! Thank you for the info.
