Shimonada & the Iyo-nada Coast tours & tickets
Real, bookable GetYourGuide experiences for Shimonada & the Iyo-nada Coast — and an honest note on what the catalogue does and does not cover here.
Shimonada needs a train ticket rather than a tour, but there is one real GetYourGuide product that includes it: a long private day trip by car from Takamatsu or Tokushima that stops at the station before continuing to Dogo Onsen and Matsuyama — useful if you are crossing Shikoku and do not want to juggle rural train times. A Matsuyama-based private guide can also build the station into a custom day.
Honest coverage note: GetYourGuide lists no activity that starts at Shimonada. One private day trip from eastern Shikoku visits it, shown below; the Iyonada Monogatari sightseeing train is sold only through JR.

Booking tips
- Iyonada Monogatari seats go on sale one month ahead at JR ticket offices and through JR’s online reservation channels; meals must be ordered several days before.
- The day trip from Takamatsu or Tokushima is priced per vehicle, so it suits small groups.
- If you hire a private guide in Matsuyama, ask for the plan to be built backwards from the sunset time.
