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 this approximately 1,200 km route allows you not only to experience the rich nature of Shikoku, but also offers many opportunities to interact with the 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! #四国遍路 #ShikokuHenro #Pèlerinage88
