Having lived in Shikoku since 2008, and having traveled the 88 temple pilgrimage myself, I can wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone coming this way for the walk of a lifetime. Full of helpful pieces of information and insight, this is a good book that fits in your pocket and can be carried anywhere. Often recommended for hikers, but really great for anyone who need something easy to carry as they walk through each temple ground as well. The author, Matsushita Naoyuki, has made this his life's work and he has worked selflessly for over a decade revising this text periodically.
As a word of friendly advise, it is very important for travelers to Shikoku to plan each day for adequate lodging for each day. Make conservative estimates for how far you will walk each day and book your inn (ryokan), guesthouse, or hotel, in advance. Sleeping rough is not recommended at all.
In addition to this "must-have", the book Buddhist Statuary by Ishii Ayako, is helpful for newcomers to the pilgrimage. Travelers to Shikoku can go on foot, by bus, by train, by rental car, and bicycle. The best seasons are spring and autumn, so also make time on your walking trip to see the sights, enjoy local cuisine, and attend festivals as well. Your pilgrimage in Shikoku can be much more of an adventure and journey than a marathon hike, and this book is a good resource to have in your bag as you go.
