Last Christmas and new Year I spent 10 days on Shodoshima, primarily walking the 88 temple pilgrimage route. I really enjpyed the island and pilgrimage, and I have started to post about it here on this blog, but I have already posted lots of articles and photos over at Japanvisitor.com, so here are the links.
First a general article about the pilgrimage
