Great trip report! Thanks so much for sharing this portion of Japan with us. Living in the Tokyo area this year, one of the few positives of the pandemic (and all the States of Emergencies in most major Japanese cities throughout the year) has been the ability to explore more remote areas of Japan that I wouldn't ordinarily visit. I've yet to travel to this corner of Shikoku, but I definitely want to visit there in 2022. I recently had a great trip to Matsuyama and hiked Mt. Ishizushi (Shikoku's highest peak) in September.
