    Brings back memories of being 4 years old (maybe 3++) and praying with my wooden beads before a simple Buddhist shrine/altar with food offerings -- and thinking I don't believe in any of this stuff. I remember this vividly. Shikoku where I spent some of my baby years. I remember the ocean and farms and the unpleasant smell of those farms. But it was also beautiful nature scenery.

    Looks fantastic. I'd love to do this when I retire.

    Thank you very much for this video. I would like to take a tour like this on my next visit to Japan. I have not seen Shikoku yet and this sounds like a lovely way to experience the scenery, food and people.

    Wow. What a beautiful video. Can't believe this has been out for three years and I just found it now. The video work, editing, sound, and narration fit together so perfectly. Marvellous.

    What a great video!!!
    I did the road, it took two months to finish the 88 temples. I have the videos on my channel in case you are curios. It was amazing

      Sounds like an incredible journey! I’d love to see your videos. It must have been amazing to experience all those temples. Do you have any tips for someone wanting to do the trail?

    • @akinselles
      @akinselles 2 місяці тому

      @@BucksMatthew The best basic advice I would give you would be:
      Carry a light backpack (no more than 5 kilos), as carrying a half-empty backpack makes it easier to carry water and food that will serve as fuel for long journeys. Normally you will find places to eat but some stretches of the path are in the woods and it is always good to have bars, fruit or nuts and water. This is what makes the difference between having a bad time or a good time on a path of so many kilometers. Then it would be walking in the morning and obviously avoiding the sun depending on the time of year you are going to walk of course. Always having the afternoons free to refuel and regain strength gave me life... And if the town or city where you stopped had an onsen even better! And little more, have a lot of patience and go forward little by little without being in a hurry.

    Hi,
    could you please give me a link of where I can find information about the trail: maps, where to stay at night, (average) cost of a place to sleep a night for a pilgrim, is there like "hostel" for a cheap price for pilgrims only like the one for the Camino de Santiago if you know what I'm talking about,
    how far is one temple to the next one, where to stay at along the trail/temples,
    if we need to take a bus/train, is there like a bus/train map for the trail to get to the temple ?
    ... And all the good stuff we need to know before taking the Shikoku 88 please !
    Arigatogozaimasu !

      Good question, Dion. I’m a local(or technically, an ex-local because im not currently living there)of Ehime, one of the four prefectures. Although it’s a bit hard to tell since it depends hugely on your plan, I can safely say it takes $30~40 to stay at a decent guest house per night. But remember. Locals are basically very welcome to pilgrims. You might get some foods for free or even they might let you stay at their house for a night. I believe the Shikoku pilgrimage is all about interactions with other pilgrims and locals, and a spontaneous plan would also work as well ;)

    La camisa con verde y rojo sin los tatuajes que llevaba en su vida anterios ... Este marinero perdio los tatuajes pero lleva en su camisa
    Seguramente en su vida anterios tenia tatuajes de un dragon verde
    Con migo será un marinero unos segundos y recordara algo de su vida anterior por eso vive en una isla

    Sale una mujer anciana mut graciosa sirbiendo comida es un marinero rencarnado en japonesa de la epoca de los bucaneros barba roja
    Tubo que esperar el turno a que fuera mayos para reencarnarse
    El bucanero o marinero pirata siempre se rencarna en mujer vieja de restaurante por que esi indica y responde una pregunta
    Si hicieramos pregunta a quien querian mas un hombre pirata !!
    con los rencarnes se ve que a la cocinera o camarera de un bar restaurante de puerto ..
    Se reencarnan en quien mas querian con sinceridad no lo que se supone que queria
