Introducing Kotohira
The small mountain village of Kotohira is home to Kompira-san, a Shintō shrine that is dedicated to seafarers, and is one of Shikoku’s most famous tourist attractions. If you mention to a Japanese person that you’ve visited Kotohira, you will almost certainly be asked if you made it to the top of the shrine. Although it’s not a major mission (the official count is 1368 steps), half the fun of visiting Kompira-san is exaggerating its difficulty while psyching yourself up for the climb.
