Shikoku

Walk the 88 Temple Pilgrimage, all the way like a true Henro, forwards & backwards, not necessarily on the same Pilgrimage.

i first heard of of this piligrmage / retreat on the Island of Shikoku in my Geography of Religion course…its a walking tour from one Buddhist shrine/temple to the next…its takes about a year to complete the pilgrimage…

i dont know when, i dont know how, but someday,,,,i am going to complete this amazing spiritual journey….

I’ve been to Matsuyama and also spent two New Year’s holidays in a row staying with a family in rural Ehime (probably a redundancy). Both were OK. The family was great, but there wasn’t much to do in Ehime at that time of year. And I’d like to spend more time in Matsuyama. I’d also like to go hiking around the island and visit the shrines and temples.
