EPISODE 28: Cape Ashizuri to Tatsukushi, November 18, 2023
About 16.5 miles.
Since 2013, our company, Mountain Hiking Holidays has been organizing and leading hiking trips along the route of the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage. Also known as the Ohenro, this is an eleven hundred year old Buddhist pilgrimage route that circumnavigates the Japanese island of Shikoku. The entire pilgrimage to the 88 temples covers a distance of roughly 700 miles. Today, the majority of the pilgrimage route follows paved roads, so for our organized, guided hiking trips we focus on the best remaining "trailed segments" that lead through Shikoku's lovely mountain and woodland landscapes and are best suited for hiking.
Beginning in the spring of 2017 the Osaki Family set off on a personal, multi-year project to complete the entire Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage on foot including all the segments along paved roads.
In March 2017, we walked from Temple #1 (Ryozenji) to Temple #17 (Idoji) over the course of four days.
In December 2018, we walked from Temple #17 (Idoji) to Temple #26 (Kongochoji) over the course of ten days.
In December 2019, we walked from Temple #26 (Kongochoji) to Temple #38 (Kongofukuji) over the course of thirteen days.
In November 2023, we walked from Cape Ashizuri to Temple #41 (Ryukoji) over the course of seven days (100 miles).
This video is a log of Day #1 (out of 7 days) of our November 2023 journey along the 100-mile segment of the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage between Cape Ashizuri (near Temple #38) and Temple #41 near Uwajima.
Windy but sunny weather on this first day of seven. Hiked the old pilgrimage trail for a short section at Cape Ashizuri, but most of the day was along Highway 321 (the "Ashizuri Sunny Road"). Even though the walk was along the highway, the traffic was relatively light and the views over the ocean (especially along the Matsuzaki Coast) were gorgeous. We spent the night in Tatsukushi town at the somewhat disheveled Hotel Nangoku ("tropical country") where they laid out an amazing multi-course dinner for us.
