Overview

    A course to experience the Shikoku pilgrimage by pottering.

    This tour is recommended for those who are interested in pilgrimage, but it seems a bit difficult to walk to the 88 locations.
    Gather at Tokushima Station and ride the JR train to Iketani Station. From the station, head to the first temple of Shikoku Sacred Ground, Reizanji, and run through the countryside where the lotus root fields and other fields of Naruto spread. After passing through the shopping street at Bando Station, the pilgrimage road begins with the mountain gate of Lingshan Temple in front. If you arrange your notebook and costumes at the first bill, the atmosphere of the pilgrimage will be improved.
    From Reisan-ji Temple, the relatively gentle course of 2nd bill place, Gokurakuji - 3rd bill place, Kinsenji - (- 4th bill place, Dainichi temple) - 5th bill place, Jizo-ji - (- 6th bill place, Anrakuji) While walking slowly, walk along the pilgrimage road with few car streets.

What to Expect

    This is a course to experience the Shikoku Pilgrimage by pottering around. This tour is recommended for those who are interested in the pilgrimage but think it might be a bit difficult to visit 88 pilgrimage sites on foot. We will meet at Tokushima Station and take a JR train to Ikeya Station by bicycle. From the station, we will ride through the countryside with Naruto's lotus root fields and other fields toward Reizanji Temple, the first temple of the Shikoku Sacred Sites. After passing through the shopping street at Bando Station, the pilgrimage route begins with the gate of Reizanji Temple in front of you, and the atmosphere of the pilgrimage is enhanced as you gather your sutra books and costumes at the No. 1 temple. From Reizanji Temple, the pilgrims will take a relatively gentle route in order from Gokurakuji Temple (No. 2) to Kinsenji Temple (No. 3) to Dainichiji Temple (No. 4) to Jizoji Temple (No. 5) to Anrakuji Temple (No. 6), visiting the temples slowly along a walking pilgrimage route with few cars passing by. On the walking course, you can find points with remnants of the Edo period that cannot be discovered if you drive, with the navigator's commentary. In addition to the pilgrimage route, the tour can be combined with other attractive places, such as the venerable Omabiko Shrine and the Ninth Village, which has a tradition of exchange with Germany. We will propose a fashionable and new style of pilgrimage pottering tailored to your needs! (*Courses can be arranged to suit the participants.)
