Shikoku's Pilgrimage, known as "henro" in Japanese, is the largest pilgrimage in Japan, featuring 88 temples scattered throughout the entire region. Established over 1200 years ago, it follows the footsteps of the monk Kukai, who is said to have trained in this area when he was young. Nowadays, many Japanese people embark on the pilgrimage to pray for the health of their family members, gain merit for the afterlife, or seek success in various aspects of their lives. But lately there are also many individuals who participate as part of their path of self-discovery. During this tour, we will have the opportunity to experience the pilgrimage firsthand by visiting two temples (Ryozen-ji and Gokurakuji) while wearing the traditional white robes of the pilgrims. *Attention* This activity is available for all the costumers. After the customers get off, the bus will wait for them and then depart for the next destination, Awaji ningyoza puppet theatre.
