"Shikoku 88 Temples Pilgrimage" means that there are 88 temples in Shikoku, and walking through these 88 temples, which are about 1,400 kilometers long, completes the practice, allowing you to cultivate your body and mind and reflect on your inner self. Let's practice together in the footsteps of "Kobo Daishi (Kaiku)" about 1,200 years ago There are 88 temples along this approximately 1,400-kilometer pilgrimage route across four prefectures in Shikoku (Kagawa, Ehime, Kochi, and Tokushima). "Henkō" refers to the path of practice of Kobo Daishi (Buddhist name: Kukai), the founder of the Shingon sect, about 1,200 years ago in 815 AD. Later, Shikoku also became a place where pilgrims followed Kobo Daishi. The four prefectures of Shikoku also reflect the four cosmic symbols of the Buddhist mandala, and through practice one can see one's true nature and attain enlightenment. Traveling through the four prefectures of Shikoku, Tokushima is the place to awaken the soul, Kochi is the place for practice, Ehime is the place for enlightenment, and Kagawa is the place for nirvana. Due to our limited time, we only visited three temples, Honraku-ji Temple, Anraku-ji Temple, and Ryozan-ji Temple. We came here to pay homage during the New Year and to cleanse our souls!

📍Reizenji Temple, Tokushima Prefecture Reizenji Temple is a temple of the Koyasan Shingon sect located in Naruto City, Tokushima Prefecture. The mountain name is Chikuwa-san, and the temple name is Ichijo-in. The main image is Shaka Nyorai. It is the first temple of the 88 Shikoku Pilgrimage. It has been selected as one of the 88 Scenic Views of Tokushima.

And speaking of Reizenji Temple, the lanterns hanging from the ceiling of this main hall are famous. The dimly lit lanterns are a very fantastic sight, and there are quite a few of them, filling the ceiling. #0 Yen Travel January 2025

DAY 4: Today we officially start the Shikoku Pilgrimage A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step When I was washing my hair in the morning, I heard the sound of raindrops falling outside the window. I didn’t expect to face the challenge God gave me on the first day of my pilgrimage. Put on your Peter Pan raincoat and pack your bags After the experience of the Spanish pilgrimage route My carry-on luggage is very simple and light There are few "pilgrims" on the road. Until you reach the first Lingshan Temple Here you can buy all the equipment for the pilgrims. Including bamboo hat, white clothes, rosary, bell, Buddhist bag, chakra, vajra staff, naza and sutra holder But I only bought the Sutra Notes. After each visit to the temple and worship, I could pay ¥500 at the Sutra Notes to get the ink book, red seal, the master's portrait and a small card as a souvenir. When I left Lingshan Temple, I saw a group of pilgrims wearing traditional white clothes at the mountain gate. They took a group photo holding their vow certificates. I was deeply moved and thought that they must be the pioneers who "fought back". My starting point is your end point, The road I am going to walk today has the footprints you walked yesterday This year is a leap year and marks the 1250th anniversary of the birth of Kobo Daishi There is a special edition of Goshuin available for collection at the Nijubanji Temple However, two of them can only be obtained at Kyoo Gokokuji Temple (Toji Temple) in Kyoto and Kongobuji Temple in Wakayama. The temple chief reminded me that the special edition Goshuin is only available until the end of this year. Before leaving, in addition to showing concern for the earthquake that occurred in Taiwan today, he also gave me drinks and snacks, and I gave him a Taiwan Panda stamp in return. I believe that in the future journey There will be more exciting people and things waiting for me to meet Visiting the Shrine: ◎Ichiban Ryozenji Temple ◎ Gokurakuji Temple, Kobo Daishi's "Long Life Cedar" ◎Konsenji Temple ◎Dainichiji Temple ◎Jizoji Temple ◎Beige Ichiban Daisenji Temple ◎ Anrakuji Temple in Rokuban: Golden Bird, Master Gachapon Accommodation: Anrakuji Shukubo in Hot Spring Mountain Today's cycling distance: 40 kilometers Cumulative cycling mileage: 94 km #Japan #FourCountries #Shikoku Pilgrimage #Shikoku Pilgrimage #Seto Inland Sea #Shikokudisease #Tokushima #Awa Spiritual Field #Kochi #Tosa Sacred Ground #Ehime #Sanuki Sacred Ground #Kagawa #Iyo Sacred Ground #BicycleTravel #Two people walking together #Kobodashi #Kukai #Shikoku Pilgrimage 88 #Gohenro #Shimanami Kaido #Shodoshima #Setonaikai National Park #Don't ask me how much the trip costs #Ask yourself how many years of youth you have left #japan #tokushima #kochi #ehime #takematsu
