The Shikoku Pilgrimage: Practical Tips and Anecdotes — An interview with Oliver Dunskus
<p>Oliver Dunskus is a German national who spends most of his year being a marketing manager. However, he has an atypical hobby: spending a few weeks each year walking the most famous pilgrimage of Japan, on Shikoku island. Noticing the lack of practical guidebooks for western pilgrims, he wrote and released the first Shikoku pilgrimage guidebook in German. Then, in January 2021, he released a new book in English, “<a href="https://amzn.to/328VHJr" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">The 88 Temples of Shikoku: A Guide for the Walking Pilgrim.</a>”</p>
<p>Read on to discover the challenges of walking more than 1,000 kilometers, unique anecdotes involving the locals, how Oliver wrote his guide, and what each trip offers him on a personal level.</p>
