Travelers Guide to Japanese Pilgrimages

by Ed Readicker-Henderson

Religious pilgrimage has long been part of Japanese life, and is still a tradition. The pilgrims' trail can take the visitor to Japan on a trip backward in time. This book is a guide to three of Japan's most popular pilgrimage routes: the single-site pilgrimage to Mount Hiei, near Kyoto; the 33-temple Saigoku Kannon pilgrimage in Japan's ancient heartland; and the 88-temple Kobo Daishi pilgrimage on the island of Shikoku.
