A Timeless Tradition
For centuries, pilgrims from all walks of life have undertaken this sacred journey, visiting 88 Buddhist temples scattered throughout the picturesque island of Shikoku. The tradition dates back to the 9th century, when the renowned monk Kūkai (also known as Kōbō Daishi) embarked on an arduous pilgrimage to establish a network of temples dedicated to spiritual enlightenment.
Today, the pilgrimage continues to attract countless devotees and travelers alike, offering a profound opportunity for reflection, purification, and connection with the ancient wisdom of Buddhism.
Navigating the Trail
The Shikoku 88 Temple Trail spans over 1,200 kilometers (750 miles) and can take several weeks or even months to complete. Pilgrims typically walk or cycle the trail, carrying their belongings in backpacks or on carts.
Along the way, pilgrims can choose to stay at traditional lodging facilities, known as shukubō, which offer simple but comfortable accommodation and meals. Many temples also provide basic overnight accommodations for those seeking a more immersive experience.
