TAKAMATSU, Japan -- The Shikoku Henro pilgrimage, a 1,200-year-old tradition famous within Japan, is attracting international fans.
The journey traces the path of Kukai, a Buddhist monk who trained on the island of Shikoku and is said to have achieved enlightenment there. He also founded the Shingon school of Buddhism -- still active in Japan today -- in the 9th century.
