Walking the Shikoku pilgrimage
- 1. 1200 kilometers, 1200 years Walking the Shikoku 88 temples pilgrimage Lawrie Hunter
- 2. 1200 kilometers, 1200 years Walking the Shikoku 88 temples pilgrimage It’s not a secret, but it gets under most people’s radar. The ‘hachiju hakkasho’ – 八十八ケ所 – the Shingon Buddhist pilgrimage around the island of Shikoku – is a great way to see the ‘real’ Japan. The landscape of most of Shikoku is hardly different from what it was 1200 years ago. Walking the full 1200 km takes about six weeks, but it’s not necessary to walk the whole thing. This workshop will give the historical background of the pilgrimage, and will give guidelines of how to dress and behave as an ‘o- henro.’ Suggested sections of the route will be suggested.
