Shikoku pilgrimage route map

Follow the real walking henro trail that links all eighty-eight temples in order. Each of the four training grounds (Awa, Tosa, Iyo, Sanuki) has its own color, and historic paths such as the Shōsanji mountain trail are overlaid in gold.

This is the map of the pilgrimage site that Byōdō-ji has mirrored into your hands. From here, you follow the walking route of Shikoku.
