    HOW THE JAPAN 88 TEMPLE PILGRIMAGE IS DIFFERENT FROM THE CAMINO DE SANTIAGO:

Perhaps because the Shikoku route often follows a roadway there are plenty of public washrooms (some with heated seats), public bathhouses, convenience stores & vending machines(food & drink).

    The Way of the 88 Temples - Journeys on the Shikoku Pilgrimage

    Don't be sad be happy! I walked the 88 temples in 2016 and did not see any tsunami damage. Johnnie Walker has walked it and blogged about his experience. The Japanese people were so kind, helpful, generous -- The Memories will always bring smiles and tears.

    Stayed at albergue in Añe Apr 2 2012. 2 rooms with about 15 beds total. Lots of hot water and reasonably clean. Lady at newer house as one enters town has key. Everyone knows who she is and will direct you. Good value for money. Solong
