The selling price is much cheaper than other sales channels, and the redemption is also very fast and convenient. The 7-day four-nation tour was successfully completed👍

It is very convenient and fast to redeem directly at the green window of JR Takamatsu Station. You can take the Anpanman train, local streetcars and Shodoshima Ferry. It is very easy to use👍

This Shikoku JR pass is different from other JR passes. You cannot reserve reserved seats. You can only choose unreserved seats on a first-come, first-served basis. Fortunately, there are many unreserved seat carriages, and reserved seats generally only have one card! You should buy this ticket if you travel long distances. Because the Shodoshima Ferry Bus and the municipal electric buses in various cities are free, if you take the Matsuyama Loop Line in the wrong direction, you can get off and get on again if you have a pass. This seven-day Takamatsu trip to Azuki, Imabari, Matsuyama, Osu, Yawatahama, Marugame, Kochi and other places is worth the money...

If you want to go everywhere by JR, regardless of the expressway bus, it is very cost-effective to buy this ticket, especially if you want to go to Kochi or Tokushima, the CP value is higher. It should be noted that after redeeming the physical ticket, be sure to keep it well. If it is lost, it cannot be reissued, and the use period of the original purchase cannot be repurchased.

It's great and easy to use. The entire trip from Takamatsu to Matsuyama plus the local tram is very cost-effective. Although you can't take the bus, it's enough. The redemption process is fast and the counter staff is friendly. You can check the sign on the station wall for unreserved seats, because there are usually only 1 to 2 carriages with unreserved seats. If you are not sure where the train will stop on the platform, you can also ask the station staff on the platform.

It’s convenient, easy to change and use, it’s worth it, you can go to Shodoshima, and it’s easily accessible by subway, so taking 2 more journeys will definitely make it worthwhile. When going to Shikoku, you should plan a rail tour.

If you want to cross the county, really need to buy, a day round trip to pay back the cost. There are also many Superman trains (free seats available) in Kochi, and the children are very happy. You can also ride on the Iyu Railway in Ehime (excluding Shao Yeh train).
