## What is Sacred Steps?

Transform your everyday walking into a sacred journey along Japan's legendary Shikoku pilgrimage — the 1,200-year-old route, roughly 1,200 kilometers (about 750 miles), connecting 88 Buddhist temples across the island of Shikoku.

Walk in your own neighborhood and advance temple by temple, unlocking authentic teachings, collecting stamps for your digital pilgrim's passport, and discovering the history and meaning behind each sacred site.
