The Shikoku Pilgrimage - Compact Backpacker Edition

The 88 Temples of Shikoku have been a popular pilgrimage trail in Japan since centuries. In the last couple of years, this pilgrimage has become increasingly popular among overseas pilgrims as well. This guidebook provides detailed information on the history of the pilgrimage, its temples and the routes between the temples. It was written to help overseas pilgrims organise this unusual trip to a remote and rural part of Japan and should encourage everyone to give it a try. This is a compact version of the regular "88 Temples of Shikoku" guidebook, in spiral binding, more robust, lighter and more compact, however with the same amount of information

Oliver Dunskus, born 1962 in Paris, spent several years of his childhood in Japan. He has completed the Shikoku pilgrimage several times and has published several guidebooks about it in three different languages. Ha also administrates the largest Facebook-group on this subject called "Shikoku 88 Ohenro Pilgrimage" which has close to 10,000 members.
