これぞ四国の神髄！岩屋寺から四国カルスト、そして天空の鳥居・高屋神社へ【四国ツーリング#4】Shikoku Japan Tour Day 4：The Road in the Sky 【テネレ700】

Welcome to Day 4 of my Shikoku Touring Series! 🏍️✨ Today’s journey was nothing short of breathtaking. We start the morning with a spiritual visit to Iwayaji Temple, a majestic site carved into a rocky mountainside. From there, we head to the "Switzerland of Japan" — the Shikoku Karst. Riding through the white limestone rocks and rolling green hills felt like being in another world. The adventure continues as we pay our respects at Ishizuchi Shrine before hitting the legendary UFO Line (Kamegamori Forest Road). Known as the "Road in the Sky," this spectacular ridge-line path offers some of the most stunning views in all of Japan. To cap off this incredible day, we hiked up to the "Torii in the Sky" (Takaya Shrine) to witness a mesmerizing night view over the city lights. Shikoku truly is a paradise for riders.
