Shikoku Pilgrimage
(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

The Shikoku Pilgrimage (Shikoku Henro) or Shikoku Junrei is a multi-site pilgrimage of 88 temples associated with the Buddhist monk kuukai (Kobo Daishi) on the island of Shikoku, Japan. A popular and distinctive feature of the island's cultural landscape, and with a long history, large numbers of pilgrims (known as henro still undertake the journey for a variety of ascetic, pious, and tourism-related purposes.[1] The pilgrimage is traditionally completed on foot, but modern pilgrims use cars, taxis, buses, bicycles, or motorcycles. The standard walking course is approximately 1,200 kilometres (750 mi) long and can take anywhere from 30 to 60 days to complete.

#1 . Ryozen-ji
Ryozenji (literally. Vulture Peak Temple) is a Kōya san Shingon temple in Naruto, Tokushima Prefecture, Japan. Temple 1 of the Shikoku 88 temple pilgrimage, the main image is of Shaka Nyorai. Said to have been founded by Gyōki during the Tempyō era, its buildings are more recent replacements after damage by fires. Located close to the crossing point for pilgrims from the Kansai region, Yūben Shinnen identified the temple as No.1 in his Shikoku henro michishirube of 1687 and subsequent guidebooks followed suit.[4] It is customary to return to Ryozen-ji as an orei mairi or thanksgiving visit upon completing the pilgrimage, although this may be a relatively recent development.
