Explanation
In the latter decades of the twentieth century, the Manufacturing Belt was dubbed the Rust Belt because the word that describes the deterioration of iron into rust was an apt name for a region where the iron and steel and related industries were in severe decline.Shikoku is the smallest of Japan's major islands. It is surrounded by a 1,200km, 88-temple Buddhist pilgrimage route (henro) honouring the 9th-century monk Kukai. Shikoku's major cities include Matsuyama, which is home to eight pilgrimage temples as well as feudal Matsuyama Castle and Dogo Onsen, one of Japan's earliest known hot-spring spas. Hiking trails and whitewater rapids can be found in the island's mountainous interior.
