The mountains and valleys of Shikoku can tell tales — stories of bygone eras. For centuries, Shikoku has beckoned pilgrims from far and wide. Clad in white, a colour synonymous with death, these pilgrims embarked on a journey, some never to return home. Yet, many embraced the challenge and set forth on this remarkable pilgrimage. This journey will lead you through the concealed nooks of this enigmatic island, inviting you to become part of a tradition known as the "Black Pilgrimage." This quest will immerse you in times and places nearly forgotten, providing a glimpse behind the veil of death. We extend an invitation to join the Kimon Tour today, where you will delve into Japan's beliefs about the "other world," concealed beyond the veil of death. Discover how a small village was shaped by both natural and supernatural forces and phenomena, offering insights into a world that transcends the ordinary.
