88 sacred places in Aio
The 88 sacred sites of Akiho were established in 1783, when Seikai Hoin, the 8th abbot of Henmei-in Temple, made a pilgrimage to the 88 temples of Shikoku, brought the talismans and earth and sand from each temple back to Akiho, enshrined them in various places in Akiho, and prayed at those places, designating them "Akiho sacred sites".
The term "pilgrimage" refers to a journey of "ascetic practice" following in the footsteps of Kobo Daishi's ascetic practices. In recent years, the purpose of pilgrimage has changed from faith to health, self-discovery, luck, match-making, and sightseeing, among others.
It is said that by visiting each of the 88 temples one by one, one can release one's doubts, purify one's body and mind, and remove the 88 troubles and worries.
