Did you reach your destination safely
on your unusual Shikoku pilgrimage of 260 kilometers in 10 days?

Ototsan,

This walking pilgrimage ended up covering about 170 km over seven nights and eight days, but we only walked all day for seven days, so on average we walked about 24 km per day. There are two temples at 150m altitude and one at 400m altitude along the way.

＞ I wonder if I reached my destination safely, as in

#3392 both the number of days and the distance became shorter. We took many long breaks, and it was dark for about 30 minutes before the inn. Unlike early in the morning, walking at night with tired legs and toddling along the dark road was very discouraging. This is the moment when walking pilgrimage is not "fun.

I had never walked until it was so dark, and I felt that it was better to walk the pilgrimage in the spring and early summer when the sun was longer.

Next time ・ Definitely ・ I'll be back in May.

It's just a walk in the park
It's like going to church and not even listening to the sermon, just spacing out.

Ototto,

＞ Do you have the remaining 90 km to look forward to next time

No, the 90 km figure is a sum total, and next time I will calculate how many km I will walk from where I finished this time, which will depend on how many days Ka-chan will be on my way to Japan. I have not yet calculated the distance in detail, but it will depend on how many days Ka-chan will be with me in Japan. I have not calculated the detailed distance yet, but roughly speaking, it would be about 120 km from JR Kochi Station to Nakamura Station in Shimanto City, and 230 km to Sukumo Station at the westernmost point of Kochi Prefecture.

From the next time, the distance between the temples will be longer: from No. 36 Seiryuji Temple to No. 37 Iwamotoji Temple is about 60 km, and the next temple, No. 38 Kongofukuji Temple at the southernmost tip of Cape Ashizuri, is a whopping 95 km. It is a full 3 days and 2 nights.

However, from Nakamura Station, we will take the eastern route of Cape Ashizuri and hit Kongofukuji Temple 38, and on our third visit to Cape Ashizuri, we want to go to Otsuki Shrine on the western side of the peninsula. If we take the safe route and walk 24 km a day, it will take about 10 days.

There are 88 temples in Kochi Prefecture (Tosa no Kuni), so


I would roughly say Kubokawa Station or Nakamura Station in JR Shikoku.

The reason why the railroad station is the last stop is because within Kochi Prefecture, you have to take a plane from Kochi Airport because you are going back to Tokyo. To get to Kochi Airport, you must first return by train to JR Kochi Station, and if you go west of Kochi Station, you must finish your walking pilgrimage near one of the stations on the JR Kochi Nakamura Line.
