Hello, my name is Taka. I’m Japanese.
I run this website.

I have completed the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage on foot twice, walking both the standard clockwise route (Jun-uchi) and the reverse route (Gyaku-uchi).
Both times, I completed the pilgrimage in sections (kugiri-uchi), and I have experienced all four seasons—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—on the trail.

On this site, I share practical and easy-to-understand information for those who are interested in starting the walking Shikoku Pilgrimage.
All content is based on my real experience, including routes, distance, gear, physical challenges, and tips for beginners.
