Gogoshima Island
興居島Ehime · Shikoku
A small, laid-back Seto Inland Sea island a short ferry hop from Matsuyama, ringed by orange groves and quiet beaches beneath the climbable peak of Mount Kofuji. A seaside Benzaiten shrine hides among the pines and a local 88-site mini-pilgrimage circles the island.
