I had a dream last night that I was one of them. I had never heard of it before the dream.
Did you complete the 88
I will hike this
Looks fantastic. I'd love to do this when I retire.
This is a dream journey
Awesome. I bet all that walking makes you pretty hungry too
Mirando la ropa de una viejita depende el tono que tenga son sus tatuajes en el pasado .. An de ver su ropa guardada en el armario !!!
La camisa con verde y rojo sin los tatuajes que llevaba en su vida anterios ... Este marinero perdio los tatuajes pero lleva en su camisa Seguramente en su vida anterios tenia tatuajes de un dragon verde Con migo será un marinero unos segundos y recordara algo de su vida anterior por eso vive en una isla
Sale una mujer anciana mut graciosa sirbiendo comida es un marinero rencarnado en japonesa de la epoca de los bucaneros barba roja Tubo que esperar el turno a que fuera mayos para reencarnarse El bucanero o marinero pirata siempre se rencarna en mujer vieja de restaurante por que esi indica y responde una pregunta Si hicieramos pregunta a quien querian mas un hombre pirata !! con los rencarnes se ve que a la cocinera o camarera de un bar restaurante de puerto .. Se reencarnan en quien mas querian con sinceridad no lo que se supone que queria
Brings back memories of being 4 years old (maybe 3++) and praying with my wooden beads before a simple Buddhist shrine/altar with food offerings -- and thinking I don't believe in any of this stuff. I remember this vividly. Shikoku where I spent some of my baby years. I remember the ocean and farms and the unpleasant smell of those farms. But it was also beautiful nature scenery.
hopefully for 2023!!
Thanks for the mini-documentary!
Still a dream hike
I want to be one.☺
What a great video!!! I did the road, it took two months to finish the 88 temples. I have the videos on my channel in case you are curios. It was amazing
👺😻 oh thanks for the video, i am definitely doing it in 2022 when the borders open

Some day, my friends ❤️
I appreciate this greatly.

Those outfits scream "fund kid hipster". After he says we have regular jobs also... of course. The outfits are anything but ascetic. This is some weird perversion of culture which died and was reborn as this weird animated corpse... full of posers. He said words like pompoms and and the English translations are just trying to make it seem less ridiculous than it is. Having unrecorded principles means they do whatever they want ... cosplayers basically ..:P
You know how many religions have funny hats? hell, how many organizations have funny uniforms? and most nonabrahamic religions have spoken traditions because frankly, it's not for outsiders to read, that's how you keep secrets. You don't need to be so judgmental.
@@raphaelalexandreyensen6291 Actually he is 100% correct. These people are not bad people in any way of course, but this is not the real deal by a long shot. The hard truth is that the last of the real mountain ascetics died out during the 1800s. That dudes “Tokin” on his head is literally made of plastic.
do you even know what ascetic means?? I think you're confusing it with aesthetics
All religions get perverted over centuries. Look at western christianity; it's no longer about love, but more about hate. Nothing is wrong, unless it actually harms people.
Which is the poser part? The 12 years of isolation on Mt. Hiei that includes training in meditation, calligraphy, and mikkyo not to mention incessant cleaning and sleep deprivation? I have a hard time sleeping some nights. What they do can't be any worse than that, right? I'm sure people have cases of insomnia lasting years! Maybe the poser part is the the kaihogyo which is a 100 day marathon? I guess technically it's just 100 marathons. It's not like those posers are doing a marathon that *lasts* a hundred days. I mean, there's also the 1000 day kaihogyo, but that's only like 10 times more than the 100 day. Not impressive, really. 10 is such a fund kid number. Now if they were using a base 16 counting protocol, we'd be talking! Also, just to hang with these guys as an entry level yamabushi requires two marathons and two months of isolation on Mt. Hiei. Back in high school, I had to wear doc martins to hang with the cool kids for almost a year. Nothing that goes on in shugendo can be worse than the blisters I got from those stinking boots!
Cost?
Good question, Dion. I’m a local(or technically, an ex-local because im not currently living there)of Ehime, one of the four prefectures. Although it’s a bit hard to tell since it depends hugely on your plan, I can safely say it takes $30~40 to stay at a decent guest house per night. But remember. Locals are basically very welcome to pilgrims. You might get some foods for free or even they might let you stay at their house for a night. I believe the Shikoku pilgrimage is all about interactions with other pilgrims and locals, and a spontaneous plan would also work as well ;)
Here is an interesting story about Yamabushi monks - www.theosociety.org/pasadena/nightmar/night-5.htm
Hi, could you please give me a link of where I can find information about the trail: maps, where to stay at night, (average) cost of a place to sleep a night for a pilgrim, is there like "hostel" for a cheap price for pilgrims only like the one for the Camino de Santiago if you know what I'm talking about, how far is one temple to the next one, where to stay at along the trail/temples, if we need to take a bus/train, is there like a bus/train map for the trail to get to the temple ? ... And all the good stuff we need to know before taking the Shikoku 88 please ! Arigatogozaimasu !
Hi, I am interested in the pilgrimage myself and recently discovered the following page on which you can find miscellaneous information regarding all questions one could possibly ask: www.jpilgrim.com/ I wish you the very best of luck in achieving your goals!
@@williammehl6541 thanks so much for the site ! That is so sweet of you ! Hope the pandemic will soon be over so we can do the pilgrimage !
Can I please have some information about the pilgrimage and where to stay in a reasonable place. Thank you so much.

Thank you very much for this video. I would like to take a tour like this on my next visit to Japan. I have not seen Shikoku yet and this sounds like a lovely way to experience the scenery, food and people.

You're offering such beautiful off-the-beaten trips in Japan- thank you!! As another long-time resident of Japan passionate about maintaining a balance between local needs and international inbound tourism products, it's great to see likeminded folk at work. Overtourism is such a major problem at the "top sites" and its just getting worse. I've been based in the Hiroshima area for over 23 years, if you ever want to collaborate on making more sustainability-focused trips for your guests in this area, I'd be happy to collaborate with you!
I love how Japan has different seasons for food! Personally I love the food in the Autumn!
Great camera work! Very beautiful visuals!
Great message!!!! Love the presentation!
Cool.. edit thanks. .Have family on the Mie side of kodo.Would like to hike more of the trail next time.
You can travelling in Bangladesh,,,,, i wanna help you allover
Wow. What a beautiful video. Can't believe this has been out for three years and I just found it now. The video work, editing, sound, and narration fit together so perfectly. Marvellous.
Cubic litre, that’s a new one.
Love japan 🇯🇵 ラン
