The Shikoku Pilgrimage Route (or Shikoku Henro) includes 88 "official" temples and numerous other sacred sites where the 9th-century monk Kōkai (Kobo Daishi) is said to have trained or spent time. Walking the approximately 1,200 km route will not only allow you to experience the rich nature of Shikoku, but also provides many opportunities to interact with local people. An easy-to-understand explanation of everything from the style to the planning and etiquette of the pilgrimage. Excellent visual maps of distance and elevation. Awaken your sense of travel! #ShikokuPilgrimage #ShikokuHenro #Pilgrimage88
