Fujita at Kuma Kogen. Shikoku Karst is a karst plateau, located at the border of Ehime and Kochi prefectures. With an area of 70 square kilometers, it is one of the three biggest karst plateaus in Japan, known collectively as "Nihon Sandai Karst". The name was suggested by the children from Yanadani Elementary School.
