Thanks for coming to my site! I walked the Shikoku Pilgrimage in the summer of 2015 and began this project shortly afterwards. It began with me wanting to compile the various budget / camping lists in English and Japanese for walking henro. Since then, the site has grown to over 200+ posts. For the Shikoku Pilgrimage, I compiled more resources to help future henro such as maps, a photo essay, and a daily diary for my own purposes and I benefited greatly from the diaries of two other female walkers. I am stripping this WordPress site and moving the information onto my Shikoku Minisite.

For pilgrimage accommodations, check out my updated English and Japanese list of free and budget henro lodging.
