1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Hearing the Temple Bell ringing and the chanting of pilgrims as you walk down to a Temple through a forest of tall Japanese Cedars - magical!2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Reading up on the Shikoku Henro pilgrimage is valuable to appreciate the Buddhist history and principles underlying the Henro tradition3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Local accommodation was used where available, walking between Temples and public transport was used where practical as well as interactions with local people along the pilgrimage route4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Excellent! A good balance of peaceful forest walking, city sightseeing, taking onsen baths, eating regional foods and learning about the Shingon Buddhist principles. Including the opportunity to attend Temple ceremonies. The accommodation was excellent and our guide was exceptional.Holiday Reviews
