The Experience
~Information on Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage~ The Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage is one of the few circular-shaped pilgrimages in the world. It includes 88 “official” temples and numerous other sacred sites where Kukai (Kōbō Daishi) is believed to have trained or have spent time during the 9th Century. If walked, the entire route is about 1,200 kilometers long which allows one to experience the abundant natural surroundings of Shikoku and opportunities to mingle with locals.
Let's walk to the Pilgrimage, wearing a pilgrimage costume!
Accompanied by an interpreter/guide who can walk with. Bus runs side by side with the possibility of leaving at any time.
This tour plan includes visiting Ryozen-ji Temple (T1), Gokuraku-ji Temple (T2), Konsen-ji Temple(T3), Dainichi-ji Temple(T4), and staying overnight at Anrakuji Temple (T6)
We will specially show you the facilities of Anrakuji Temple, which is closed to the public.
Ai-Indigo Dyeing experience Try indigo dyeing. Your own personally dyed item makes a great souvenir of Shikoku.
Exciting authentic Awa-Dance experience Tokushima Prefecture's Awa Odori dance has a long history and is one of the three major Bon Odori dances in Japan. Another reason for its popularity is that people can enjoy dancing together.
