Inhaltsangabe

Have you ever wanted to travel to Japan? Have you been to Japan before and experienced the big cities like Osaka and Tokyo? Have you thought that there might be something more to Japan that you have not yet seen? Would you like to take a walk on the pilgrimage of Shikoku? Come along with this very regular Canadian and travel the zen ring of Shikoku through 88 temples. Get a taste for the Deep Japan you have dreamed of. The bamboo forests, the moss covered stones, the incense wafting up in front of the temples framed between mountains and sea. Hear the monks chant and walk with other pilgrims. See and experience a Japan that is unique, precious, and very much off the beaten path.Shikoku is located in the south-western part of Japan and is a large island consisting of four prefectures: Tokushima, Kochi, Ehime, and Kagawa. Each has its own character, and its own part in the journey that is yours for the choosing to walk it. The pilgrimage route is one established by Kukai, Japan's "saint" in Buddhism, literature, civil engineering, and much much more. Walking the route is an act of "walking with Kukai", as you two are bound together through field and forest, over mountains and through valleys. Japan is one of the safest and cleanest places in the world to explore and discover. This guide may offer you some information and inspiration for making the journey of a lifetime.
