Shikoku has four important capes: Gamōda in [[Anan, Tokushima]] on the easternmost point on the island, Sada in [[Ikata|Ikata, Ehime]] on the westernmost point. Muroto in [[Muroto, Kōchi]] and Ashizuri, the southern extreme of Shikoku, in [[Tosashimizu, Kōchi]], jut into the Pacific Ocean. The island's northernmost point is in [[Takamatsu]].
