A professor at my old university (UCSC) plans to lead a group of students here to do the Shikoku Pilgrimage. It must be a wonderful way to spend a quarter, out of the classroom, learning by doing.
I've been wondering, of the roughly 450,000 pilgrims who got their compostelas last year, about how many walked the route with a paid guide? I can't find that information from either the pilgrim office or my old friend Google.
