Next, visit Isaniwa Shrine, known for its striking vermilion architecture and impressive approach lined with stone steps. Experience the peaceful atmosphere and traditional shrine architecture closely connected to the history of Dogo.

If time permits, continue to Ishiteji Temple, one of the temples of the famous Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage, before returning to the port.

Before your tour, you will receive an exclusive English digital guidebook with detailed information about the itinerary and each sightseeing location. Communication with the driver will be assisted by a translation app.

After experiencing the history and traditional culture of Matsuyama, your private vehicle will return you to Matsuyama Cruise Port in time for your ship’s departure.
