Pilgrimage as a faith
faith
Faith is an emotion that comes out of human instinct, such as liking the opposite sex, loving your child, and wanting to cherish your mother.
Religion means joining a sect and systematically learning the teachings of the sect’s founder.
* “Faith” is an instinct from within “Religion” is learning from the outside * A pilgrimage is different from a memorial service or memorial service because anyone can visit the shrine without having to go through the training or initiation process, and it is not a temple event. ■Pilgrimage is a “Japanese culture” that has been passed down as a faith. A pilgrimage you should visit at least three times in your lifetime At first, I think * “I wish for the happiness of my loved ones” * is enough. There may be few opportunities in daily life to quiet your mind and pray for the happiness of your loved ones. When you take a break from your daily routine and visit the shrine, and see the happiness of others overlap with your own, you will be truly healed.
– If you find a lover: visit the shrine as a couple to wish your partner happiness
– After your child is born: Visit the shrine to express your gratitude and wish for happiness for your child
– After your 60th birthday: Visit a shrine to express gratitude for your life There is a belief that if a pilgrim’s notebook is placed in his coffin at the end of his life, he will be able to go to the Pure Land of Paradise.
Don’t worry, the Izu 88 Pilgrimage also has its own account book. Payment book
Tour overview
When I think of going on a pilgrimage, I worry about dealing with temples, chanting sutras, etiquette, etc. I’m worried about finding lunch, and I’m worried about driving on unfamiliar roads… I wonder if it’s possible to experience it more easily?
This is the “Pilgrimage Tour” that meets such requests!
This is a “premium tour” where you will be accompanied by a pilgrim guide called a pilgrim, and depending on the course you will be able to hear a sermon from a temple.

Pilgrimage style
I think it’s good to have a pilgrimage where there are 100 different journeys for 100 people. It’s a faith, so please enjoy your trip in your own way.
– Good luck and prayers between lovers before marriage
