Self-guided Henro Trail Walking (37th temple)

Henro is the term for the Shikoku Pilgrimage to 88 sacred temples dotted around the island of Shikoku, where it is said that the Buddhist monk Kobo Daishi (Kukai) performed ascetic religious practices. The pilgrimage road stretches over 1200km through all four prefectures on the island. The whole journey can take a month or two on foot, but pilgrims can also make the journey in part because there are no strict rules on which temples to visit or how many in total. Anyone can be a pilgrim (ohenro-san) regardless of nationality or religion, and all are sure to receive a warm welcome from the locals.

This is 1-day self-guided henro trail course for Iwamoto-ji (37th temple) from Kochi City.
