Kawarakko

Shikoku


About 12km inland and upriver on Route 441, this is a neatly maintained riverside campground run by an adventure company. Canoes, mountain bikes and even tents are available to hire should you fancy a night under the stars. There are no shops around here, so take all the supplies you are likely to need.
