After Losing Everything, a Stranger in Japan Showed Me This

Embark on an emotional and transformative journey with me as I explore the sacred 88-temple pilgrimage in Shikoku, Japan. After experiencing a profound loss, I was guided by a kind elderly Japanese man who introduced me to this centuries-old tradition. In this video, I share how visiting each temple and collecting beautiful "goshuin" stamps in my "nokyocho" (temple book) helped me find peace and acceptance. Traveling by car allowed me to immerse myself in Shikoku's serene landscapes, discover hidden gems, and reflect on my emotions at my own pace. If you're seeking solace or curious about Japan’s rich spiritual heritage, this journey might offer the inspiration you need. Thank you for joining me on this meaningful adventure.
