The 88 Temple Pilgrimage of Shikoku

The „88-Temple-Pilgrimage“ (in Japanese 四国八十八箇所, shikoku hachijū hakkasho ) is a pilgrims’ path on the Japanese island of Shikoku. Today most pilgrims do the 1440 km tour by bus, car or taxi. We have met tour groups covering all 88 temples in 11 days. But walking the whole pilgrimage over the course of several weeks is still popular. We have walked the whole distance ourselves. And the very first blog post we did in 2006 as a sort of technical test was a report about the „88-Temple-Pilgrimage“. This is a slightly revamped version of that historical travel blog article!
