Kanto 88 Temples: Eastern Pilgrimage
:Once a month, departure at 8:30am, return time 6:00pm
|Departure and return from JR Kinshicho Station
The Shikoku Pilgrimage, where Kobo Daishi Kukai practiced his asceticism, is the most sacred site in Japan, where people can retrace the path of the great master and seek his connection. However, Shikoku is a remote area from the Kanto region, making it difficult to grant such wishes. That is why the Kanto 88 Temple Pilgrimage was established with the sand of the Shikoku Pilgrimage and the connection to the Shikoku Pilgrimage. The once-monthly pilgrimage, where the monk Kanzaki-ji Temple guides the famous temples of the sacred sites, named the "Eastern Pilgrimage," is a very special day, where friends can learn and practice Buddhism as well as enjoy delicious meals and snacks from each region. It is a very enjoyable pilgrimage, so it is a day to easily escape from your daily life. Anyone can participate, so please contact us by phone, email, or LINE.
