For those travelling across Kagawa prefecture on Shikoku island, Okuboji Temple is an especially important destination. The final stop on the massive 750 miles (1200 kilometers) Shikoku Pilgrimage, the only thing preventing Okuboji Temple from being overrun with pilgrims is the sheer impossibility of the Shikoku Pilgrimage. An unassuming temple by nature, the real power of Okuboji Temple lies in how it is venerated for being the zenith of the pilgrimage. If there is power in dedication, Okuboji Temple is for the most dedicated. Even for travelers uninterested in completing the journey themselves, Okuboji Temple is a prime destination for learning about the "henro" pilgrims and taking in the beauty of Mt. Nyotai.
