A Pilgrim's Progress


The temples listed below are at this writing (December 2019) primarily those that belong to larger or smaller pilgrimage courses. "Independent" temples will be added someday, as I will have to dig through my photos and scattered notes to find them (though quite a few non-pilgrimage sites are listed for China).

The ones under "Japan" are purely from that country; after 2004, when we enter China, we will bounce back to Japan for one trip.

JAPAN
1997-2001 and 2004

I lived in Japan for nearly five years, but didn't really get on the Pilgrim Trail in a big way until 1999. So here is one small course I did in 1998; five BIG endeavors (plus one smaller one) from 1999-2001; and one set of six courses accomplished on a return visit of two weeks in August 2004.

The courses (linked to more background information):
Note: The three routes above together constitute the "Nihon Hyakku Kannon Kasho," the 100 Kannon Places of Japan.
  • The 53 Stations of the Tokaido: A walk along a 400-year-old post road between Kyoto and Edo (now Tokyo), linking the Emperor to the Shogun (2001)
  • Old Yamato: A four-day stop-in at Japan's ancient capital region, with visits to Nara, Asuka, and Koyasan. Not actually a "course" per se. (2001)
  • The Shikoku 88 Route: Dedicated to Kobo Daishi (Kukai), founder of the esoteric Shingon Buddhism (2001)
Note: The three routes above were accomplished in a single trip, my "Aki Meguri," from September to November 2001.
Note: The six routes above were done by region rather than contiguously, over a two-week visit in August 2004.
