Located in the border of Ehime and Kochi prefectures, the Shikoku Karst plateau, about 1,400 km above sea level, stretches 25 km on an east-west axis. Together with Akiyoshidai Plateau in Yamaguchi Prefecture and Hiraodai Plateau in Fukuoka Prefecture, it is one of the Three Great Karst Formations of Japan.

From the top of the highest peak, you can command a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains including Mt. Ishizuchi. The gentle highlands of Onogahara, Godan Highland, Mezuru-daira, and Tengu Highland (1485 m) extend from the east to the west, which are covered with green grass in summer and Japanese pampas grass in fall. Providing affluent nature that changes from season to season, the plateau is visited by a lot of tourists all through the year. Shikoku Karst is also famous as a pastureland for dairy cows. Cows leisurely grazing here and there on the plateau create idyllic scenery.
