Sinopsis

Discover Japan’s Most Spiritual Journey on Foot.
Sacred Miles of Shikoku: A Practical Guide for Walking the Henro Trail invites you on a deeply personal and practical pilgrimage across Shikoku Island’s sacred 88-temple route. Spanning over 1,400 kilometers, this revered journey has been walked by monks, wanderers, and seekers for over a thousand years.
Told in a vivid first-person narrative, this guide is more than a route map—it’s a story of transformation, challenge, and discovery. You’ll walk through cedar forests, coastal fishing towns, misty mountains, and bustling cities, all while connecting with the timeless wisdom of Kukai (Kōbō Daishi) and the warmth of the Japanese people.
Inside this guide, you’ll find:

• A day-by-day breakdown of the pilgrimage journey
• Cultural etiquette and temple rituals every pilgrim should know
• Advice on lodging, food, and gear selection
• Maps, route tips, and local insights
• Inspirational storytelling from the trail itself
• A complete appendix with Japanese phrases, packing lists, and accommodation options
