＞ Where can I buy and get the necessary pilgrimage goods ？

Since most people start at No. 1 Reizanji （ Ryozenji ）, this temple has a large pilgrimage goods department. However, this place is a lordly business due to its location, so I went in plain clothes to the specialty store "Sumotoriya" at the foot of No. 10 Kiriban-ji Temple.

You will need at least a white robe, a rangesa, a vajra staff, a suga hat, and a sutra book. Some people walk around in ordinary hiking clothes. Some people walk around in ordinary hiking clothes. I wear them because I do not feel like a pilgrim without them except for the head pouch, and I do not look like a pilgrim from the outside. However, it costs about 17,000 yen for the first set of these items, so some people are not comfortable with this.

Whenever I need something after my first trip to Shikoku, I place an order with the above net store and have it sent to the pilgrim inn where I will stay on the first day.

There was a scene in the drama where they leave their
vajra sticks and pilgrim hats when they reach the 88th temple.
Do they leave them at the last temple of the 88 temples
to tell that they have completed their pilgrimage safely?

This is a bit of an odd question, but what do you do if you need to go to the bathroom during a pilgrimage in the countryside where there are no convenience stores ？?

↑ I thought so too. I've been concerned lately because I've been using the restroom a lot.

#2172 Showa Ototsuan,

＞ The scene where he is placing his vajra and pilgrim's hat

That's because it's a drama, and he only deposits his vajra. Moreover, if you ask the temple to do so, they charge you 1,000 yen as a fee. Also, the place to store it is in a different place. Many people make a second pilgrimage, and many of them take it home with them, and many of them also walk back to the first temple, calling it a "thank-you" visit, in order to make a loop of the route they have taken. The pages of the book of sutra chanting have been preserved.


#2174 Japan-bound,

That is the biggest problem in walking pilgrimage, but fortunately, there are dozens of rest areas around Shikoku and many of them have toilets attached. Also, all the restrooms are marked on the pilgrim map, so you can keep an eye on them as you walk. Also, even if you are far from the city, there are gas stations along the roadside where you can borrow toilets. Also, if you are a man, you can simply turn off the road into the woods when crossing a mountain pass. Furthermore, on longer routes where there are no restrooms, local people may provide simple toilets, such as those found at construction sites. There are many foreign pilgrims these days.
