This is my second time participating in the henro pilgrimage and although the distance was longer this time (18.5 km), I found it easier and more enjoyable the second time around.                                   
My first time we visited Yashimaji and Yakuriji in November 2009 and this year Motoyamaji and Iyadaniji.  The reason I love participating in this pilgrimage is because it's a great way to learn about Buddhism for people like myself who don't necessarily spend a great deal of time studying and reading about it.  I'm glad to be able to share my growing knowledge of the 88 temple circuit with visitors to Kagawa.  I'm so thankful for being able to participate this time around and again, would encourage anyone visiting Kagawa or living in Shikoku to participate and share their experience with the world.
