~Information on Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgramage~ The Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgramage 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.

Indigo Dyeing Experience Tokushima once flourished as a center of indigo dyeing. Even today, the influence of indigo dyeing can be seen in the indigo colors that represent Tokushima City. It is said that the fascination of indigo dyeing is the moment when the dyed fabrics turn blue after being soaked in water. We hope you will take this opportunity to try indigo dyeing.
