We travelled Japan for 3 weeks from Tokyo to Hiroshima via Shikoku and the most memorable part of our trip was the walk of 88 Pilgrimage route with Masami. We also asked her to include the visit to a sake brewery on the way and it was quite interesting. Highly recommendable off-the-beaten-track tour ! Thanks Masami !
