Route
Henro path circling Shikoku in the footsteps of Kūkai — Japan’s most famous long-distance Buddhist pilgrimage.
The full circuit visits all 88 official temples clockwise through Tokushima, Kōchi, Ehime, and Kagawa. Walkers (aruki-henro) often take 30–60 days; many others travel by car, taxi, or bus. This guide maps all 88 official temples in order — from Temple 1 at Ryōzen-ji to Temple 88 at Ōkubo-ji. After finishing, pilgrims traditionally continue to Mount Kōya on Honshu to report the journey at Okunoin.
88 mapped anchors on the circuit — not the full set of 88, but the shape of the island loop.
