Shikoku Pilgrimage + Seto Inland Sea Cycling Tour

DAY 16: Today's cycling journey can be said to be over mountains and across rivers. The weather was gloomy. I kept praying to Kobo Daishi to protect me from rain. After leaving the city of Kochi, we drove along National Highway 56 towards Shimanto City. This journey of more than 100 kilometers was like riding on the Northern Yi Highway. The title of "Kochi Training Center" is well deserved. Along the way, I also saw several hiking pilgrims. Although it seemed that I was only accompanied by my own shadow, I never felt lonely during the hiking journey because there were two of us walking together. I admired them from the bottom of my heart. At the end of today's trip, I was able to complete the only two single-day rides of over 100 kilometers in the Shikoku Pilgrimage.
