A pilgrimage route, considered the oldest in Japan, spanning 33 Kannon sacred sites across 2 prefectures and 4 prefectures of Kinki, as well as Gifu (founded by Tokudo Shonin in 718, revived by Emperor Kazan in 1007, and designated a Japan Heritage site in 2019). All principal images are Kannon Bodhisattva, from the first temple, Seiganto-ji (Nachi), to the 33rd temple, Kegon-ji (Tani-gumi, the final temple). There is no set order to visit the temples, no deadline, and you can visit them in any order you like, over multiple trips. It is practical to visit them grouped by prefecture, and accessible by car or public transport. Some temples are difficult to access, with mountain paths or long stone staircases: Shofuku-ji (4th), Kami-daigo (11th), Chomei-ji (31st), and Kannon-sho-ji (32nd). Goshuin (temple stamps/calligraphy) are issued at each temple; please check the official website for procedures and fees. The 3 supplementary temples and thanksgiving visits are optional; completion is achieved at the 33 temples. You can record your 33 visits with a map and check-ins.
