Though she’d hiked Peru’s Machu Picchu, Ireland’s Wicklow Way, and the Slovenian Alps, the Shikoku Pilgrimage would prove to be her most memorable travel experience. She visited 25 of the pilgrimage’s 88 temples over several days. It is said that Kobo Daishi Kukai first made this pilgrimage 1200 years ago, but it soon spread among the general public. Today devoted Buddhists and curious travelers from all over the world make the pilgrimage.
