The temples were relatively close together, connected by small streets in the suburbs of Tokushima. We took the first half of the day visiting the temples before we stopped for a bowl of ramen at the Pink Dragon. We ran into another pilgrim from Australia who joined us for lunch. We decided not to do a big day today so that we can ease into walking the trail. This sort of trek is new for Adam and we want to avoid any injuries that can come from overdoing mileage too early. In the afternoon we walked a few kms to our accommodation. Our plan is to camp for a lot of this trail, but while we’re in Tokushima prefecture, the options for that are pretty much nonexistent, so we’ll been staying in home stays and guest houses until we leave the city. Our host was super friendly and the room was perfect! The only food close by was a convenience store, so we walked over, grabbed some food, and finished the evening with gyoza and fried chicken. See you tomorrow for day 3!

Nice rain gear😂 Have fun
Greetings from another Australian, best wishes on your journey, can you tell me the cost of the accomodation, I’m contemplating doing the journey.
Super to see you out. My niece hiked it in 2019, so it's fun to see you do this.
Hachi ju hachi basho. Henro.
Maybe you're still on your way: Enjoy your pilgrimage till the end and especially the temples! It's really nice to see you guys, you look like a lovely sister-brother-couple.
I've been to Shikoku in September and it was hard with a lot of sunny days of 30-35°C but worth the sweat & doubts. And the feeling being back at temple no. 3, 2 and finally 1 was a full-circle-moment.
🙏🏼Greetings from Europe to 🇯🇵
So dope!!! I've wanted to travel my whole life, its rad to see it through your lense ☺️
