Walking the Shikoku Pilgrimage Trail is one of the most spiritual experiences it is possible to have on two feet. The full pilgrimage trail is 750miles and takes 30-60 days of walking, however, we are aware that this is not possible for most people, so we have created two trips that focus on the best parts of the route. You can take our full trip from Kyoto to Osaka, with the walk in the middle, or if you have your own plans in Japan and simply want to walk, you can take our Shikoku Pilgrimage Walk Only trip.

Making a pilgrimage to the temples of Shikoku, joining the other Henro walking the route, is an amazing way to experience rural Japan and immerse yourself in the customs of this beautiful part of the world.
