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). Rustic shelters v/s a room at a Paradore -...

    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.

    Starting end march/april

    Hola Aleesha: I too read Tony Kevin's book. I'm scheduled to arrive in Granada Mar. 10th, and plan to make my way towards Santiago a few days later. I think Tony said(2006) that he did not meet any pilgrims until after he arrived in Merida. I hope you decide to walk the Camino Mozarabe and...
