This map shows the location of Shikoku Island and it’s proximity to Honshu, which is the main Island of Japan. If you click on the map it will take you to the MS Virtual Earth page and you can zoom out to see a bigger picture of Japan.
Hello Lou
Feel free to ignore this, I don`t want to Intrude.
I am on my third day of the Henro pilgrimage, and am still on the easy(?) parts I guess! The weather is much hotter than Newcastle in Northern England where i come from (but the hat helps!), but I find the hardest part is following the maps. Several times i have got thoroughly lost, and ended up miles off track, and I only have very limited Japanese (but doing this is making me pick it up quickly). I have found most people very friendly, but I know my tattoo`s put a few people off!
You have my utmost admiration, and I can only say “Gokurosama!”, and good luck.
