Shikoku...? Where's that?

Shikoku, the smallest of Japan's four main islands, is well-known for its beautiful natural scenery: steep mountains in the interior, rugged Pacific coastline, and stunning views of the island-dotted Inland Sea. But I'm going for another reason - to walk the 1,200+ km 88-Temple Pilgrimage route around the island.

My flight leaves in a few hours, and tomorrow I'll be in Osaka. Over the next eight weeks I'll add more posts and pictures. Please join me here at Walking Shikoku!

    The two Elvis impersonators are just up around the corner. The serendipitous serenity of chaos awaits with open claws. Rove, D&B
