    Explore a beautiful coastline honed by the shining sea, and verdant forests bursting with life Ashizuri-Uwakai Originally established as Ashizuri Quasi-National Park in 1955, the Ashizuri-Uwakai National Park 17 became a national park in 1972 following the additional designation of the Uwakai region and the marine National Park park area. A major feature of this park is its everchanging landscape consisting of coastal strips, including the islands of south-west Shikoku, and the mountains inland which tower over 1,000 meters in height. The Ashizuri region has extensive cliff s and precipices formed along its coastal terraces and is home to communities of subtropical marine life and corals that benefi t from the warm Kuroshio sea current. The Uwakai regionʼs charming insular landscape is characterized by delicate inlets formed by its submerged coasts and the region off ers beautiful marine scenery such as soft coral. The inland area is home to a natural forest of giant trees such as Japanese umbrella pines, Japanese cedars, and Japanese cypresses. Nametoko Valley is a popular sightseeing spot located in the upper stream of the Shimanto River, featuring a series of waterfalls and beautiful riparian trees such as the Quercus salicina and Machilus thunbergii. The national park is also home to Kongofukuji Temple, which is said to have been established by infl uential Buddhist monk Kobo-Daishi (774‒835) and is one of the Shikoku Eightyeight Sacred Temples. Visitors can make pilgrimages to Gassan Shrine and Sasayama Shrine, which are included in the Shikoku Bekkaku 20 temples, and cultural traditions such as osettai, an off ering of food and drink to pilgrims, are still carried out along the pilgrimage route.
