===Traditions===

Shikoku is also famous for its [[Shikoku Pilgrimage|88-temple pilgrimage]] of temples. The pilgrimage was established by the Heian-period Buddhist priest [[Kūkai]], a native of present-day Zentsūji-cho in Kagawa prefecture. According to legend, Kūkai still appears to pilgrims today. Most modern-day pilgrims travel by bus, rarely choosing the old-fashioned method of going by foot. They are seen wearing white jackets emblazoned with the characters reading ''dōgyō ninin'' ({{lang|ja|同行二人}}) meaning "two traveling together".
