@When walking Santiago pilgrimage way, heard that Shikoku 88 places and Kumano old road from a pilgrim of staying at the same inn.He asked me about a place of departure , a place of arrival , the distance, and the necessary days.I was not able to answer properly then because I didn't have knowledge so much.Later,I was surprised for more than 1,000 kilos about the total distance of the worship of Shikoku 88 places.In Campo at Santiago pilgrimage way there was a monument of Shikoku 88 places .I'll know that there is a memorial hall near later.There is much lodging Albergue for pilgrims in Spain, you can stay overnight cheaply and illingly.
Also you can have a low-rate meal in Ball, so economic burden is little for long term.
In that respect , but Shikoku 88 places has lodgings in temples a lot , because of the slightly higher prices , resulting in economic burden when it comes to a long period of time .A foreigner is increasing recently, but it's an obstacle there with the transportation cost.Santiago pilgrimage way is the world's heritage. I hear that Shikoku 88 places consider registration application.Its improvement is necessary to get the global recognition.
My parents' house is located in Sanuki , and New Year's visits to a Shinto shrine go to the Okubo temple of Shikoku 88 places well. Also, I often go to the Konpira shrine , but not included in the Shikoku 88 places for shrine Unfortunately.Pilgrimage of my Shikoku 88 places used a car. I worship until 31 place. it is I want to challenge the pilgrimage on foot in the near future .When this pilgrim walks on daily 25km average, it takes approximately 45 days.
Therefore need cost of more than 300,000 yen .It will take it more than 1 million yen when I use a tour.A pilgrim on foot require tough-footed and money .!!
