Shikoku Pilgrimage, Buddhist pilgrimage in Japan
The Shikoku Pilgrimage is a multi-site pilgrimage of 88 temples associated with the Buddhist monk Kūkai (Kōbō Daishi) on the island of Shikoku, Japan.
This pilgrimage route was established in the Heian period (794-1185) and has been followed by millions of pilgrims over centuries.
The journey is traditionally completed on foot, but modern pilgrims use cars, taxis, buses, bicycles, or motorcycles.
It takes approximately 30 to 60 days to complete the entire pilgrimage on foot.
Each temple on the route has a unique stamp that pilgrims collect in their 'stamp book' as proof of their visit.
