Loved watching, I remember seeing your insta updates while you were on the walk itself!! I've always wanted to do this pilgrimage, trying to pre-save enough to be able to take that much time off unpaid and pre-pay rent in Australia so that I can do it in a few years time!

It would be great if pilgrims, when realising what way should be taken after a misdirected call. Would identified it for the followers? Somehow….making the trail easy to follow…

Goddamn incredible! It brings back memories. Here speaks another pilgrim from shikoku henro! On my channel I also recorded my shikoku route in case you want to check it out. It made my day to see your video that brings back many memories, I did it 6 years ago…now you will have to do the Camino de Santiago in Spain 😜

Love following you, amazing scenery and great info…you mentioned it took 50 days, great effort carrying a tent…But…how difficult is this hike? Previously I have hiked 5 different Camino’s…thanks for inspiring me and other pilgrims…🇦🇺
@heykiera_4 ай бұрын
Hey Ruth! Thanks for the comment. I’m glad you like the video❤ Yes 45 days walking plus a few days off 😂 Which Caminos did you do? This pilgrimage has tough moments but also very easy moments, unfortunately quite a bit of road walking due to added infrastructure on the island. But walking on the road with nice views is still nice. Only a few really tough forest days 😊

Hi Kiera thanks for yre reply…Camino Francis, Del Norte, Geneva Way and Via Podiensis. That’s why Shikoku interests me, probably walk mid to end of August, looks like u had an amazing journey…keep the hoopla hoop going locals must love interacting……any other tip would always be appreciated…💗🌸🇦🇺

Hi, Kiera. Great video. I'm about to go to Shikoku in a few days (March 2024). How heavy was your pack? And was there any concerns or issues with you camping with the locals?
@heykiera_4 ай бұрын
Great to hear! I am guessing you’re there right now? My pack was around 11 kg. More with water. I always asked permission and if they said no I wouldn’t. I also was very respectful, always cleaning up after myself, offering donation, setting up at sunset and packing up before sunrise. Enjoy your journey

Hey Kiera, Thankyou for your video. I am a Henro pilgrim also. Your experience shared was so full of positivity and just what the journey is all about, self discovery, learning to trust and seeing each new day as a new adventure. I learned the term Ichi go Ichi E from Sazaki Sensei on the Hachi ju Hachi in 2009. It changed my life. So many make videos that seem to miss the point. It is a pilgrimage, a journey to discover, not to grizzle and pick bad days. You seem to be a pretty kool young lady, mebbe our paths will cross some day. I am 70 now and looking after my Mother. If her time comes before mine I will head to Shikoku again to walk the trail. Take care, You are amazing Kiotsukete kudasia.

Wow! How exciting you are going to Shikoku, it is SUCH a special place. Seriously! You will fall in love with it if you are open to it. You won't find the crazy Tokyo and modern style of Japan in Shikoku... it's the old way. There is a very famous bridge and small hikes in land Tokushima. I can't remember the name but I have an idea to go back one day with a van and travel around and hand out drinks and ossetai gifts to pilgrims walking. If you see a pilgrim and you feel like it offer them a drink or snack. A lot of locals always have a bag of snacks in their car ready to give pilgrims, it's so cute! Have a great journey and you can park your van for free and sleep at the roadside stations. And toilets are open all night.
