The ultimate pre-departure journey is not just organizing one’s
life before death. It is rather to consider how our hearts can be
spiritually rich throughout our entire lives. The Saigoku
pilgrimage route helps us to achieve such spiritual fullness.
Japanese people often hear that they are considered “cool !”,internationally. Such reactions represent an idea that most ofthem are really tender, considerate, and diligent. This is related
to the Kannon philosophy which Japanese people are very
familiar with. The journey of visiting each Kannon on thepilgrimage route brings us the spiritually rich lives, and that iswhat the Saigoku pilgrimage route truly is

On ' the Japan Heritage''Japan Heritages' are cultural properties
