Monobe River plunge bath

Monobe River

This beautiful, placid river flows through some of Shikoku’s most pristine nature. Narrow roads with very light traffic run alongside the river, making it ideal for cyclists. Another attraction are the many cafés dotted along the route. These tend to be thoughtfully designed, with terraces, gardens, arbours, and even rotenburo onsen. Some welcome guests accompanied by pets.
