The original practice of the 88 Temples pilgrimage (henro) was established in the Heinan period of Japanese history (on the border of the Early and the Developed Middle Ages in European terms) and it takes places on the island of Shikoku. However, the tradition has been passed to the different Japanese regions which have their own pilgrimage routes, and some of them are direct, scaled-down (distance-wise) imitations of the original route.
