Check trail map. Check map again. Check signage. Nope. Not gonna do it. I’ll walk the extra mile on the paved road thank you! I’ve learned that hard way that no one actually walks this pilgrimage anymore. They drive it. Lesson learned.

When doing one of the major pilgrimages in Japan, you leave behind osamefuda, which are dedication slips with your name and prayers/wishes. It’s like a record of your visit. People used to write them on wood and nail them to the temple walls. This is now illegal ;) The word comes from osame = to offer, dedicate, deposit and fuda = a slip, tag, or paper tablet Shoutout to @dandelion for their encouragement and support! If anyone out there needs some special vibes, prayers, wishes, thoughts, etc I am happy to dedicate one of my visits for you or someone you care about.

It’s the year of the horse and it’s really special for the Chichibu 34 Temple Pilgrimage. Every 12 years, the temples open up their “secret Buddha” and you can actually see the principal carvings. It’s extremely cool and it’s one of the reasons I chose to walk this pilgrimage in 2026. Otherwise I’d have to wait until 2038!! Of course I had to get the limited edition Goshuincho to collect my temple seals/stamps. I feel in love with the design! It’s so pretty and colorful.

October 1 was an auspicious day. “The most auspicious day in the Japanese calendar, the day when heaven forgives the sins of all things. It comes only 5-6 times a year, and everything is said to proceed smoothly without obstacles. The strongest day for good fortune, ideal for a new start.” Cheers to starting new things! And here’s where I really appreciate AI. Of course you can translate things, but sometimes you need more context! The sea bream (鯛, tai) is a pun on medetai (めでたい, "auspicious"). The mallet is the lucky mallet (打ち出の小槌), which pays out gold coins when shaken. The cat with a gold coin is a maneki-neko holding a 千万両 coin (ten million ryō). The folding fan with the rising sun is an auspicious "widening" symbol (末広がり). The rice ears stand for a good harvest.
