四國遍路 The Shikoku Pilgrimage

四国遍路是日本四国岛上一条历史悠久的朝圣路线，起点为香川县的讃岐大寺，终点为高知县的札所寺，共有88座寺庙，总长约1,200公里。它不仅是宗教朝圣之路，也是许多朝圣者寻求内心平静与启示的心灵之旅。四国遍路与海空大师（Kōbō Daishi）有着深厚的渊源。海空大师，真言宗的创始人，曾在四国地区传播佛教，影响深远。传说他曾在沿途的寺庙修行和讲法，因此，遍路被视为朝圣与追寻海空大师精神的旅程。每年，成千上万的朝圣者走这条路，感受自然美景和文化遗产的同时，也致敬这位伟大的宗教人物。

Every year, thousands of pilgrims walk this route, experiencing the natural beauty and cultural heritage while paying homage to this great religious figure.
