DAY 8: Today we will take the special opportunity to explore Shikoku Island—a beautiful place off the beaten path. We’ll visit the prayer hall, or sanro-den, at the Shinto shrine to Sukunahikona, which was restored with support from WMF. We’ll also stop and visit the Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired Hizuchi Elementary school, which won the 2012 WMF / Knoll Modernism Prize. After lunch, we’ll stop in Uchiko, a beautiful town known for its handicrafts. At the end of the day, we will take a domestic flight from Matsuyama back to Tokyo where we will check in at the Palace Hotel for our final evening.
