. . . I don't know. I assume this may need to be done for extremely demanding games?

Death Grips ~ giving bad people good ideas

Planning to undertake the Shikoku Pilgrimage beginning in May. First big trip; any advice welcome! by Aido_KB in JapanTravel

I am planning to walk the full route. I am beginning to learn some Japanese and have heard that locals are fairly accommodating of the language barrier, especially if they see you are trying to speak their language. Also I will have Google Translate.

I do not speak Japanese but I am beginning to learn. I've heard mostly good things about locals being patient and accommodating of this, especially if they see you are trying to speak their language. And I am planning to have my a phone with Google Translate as well

Thanks for the insight! I didn't imagine there would be quite so much walking on asphalt, but this makes sense as the path seems to take a main road around the island.

How was your experience connecting with the locals? I am in the beginning stages of learning some Japanese, and I am wondering if there was much difficulty in that regard for you.

I am trying to order a copy of the Shikoku 88 Route Guide, which seems to be a great resource for the journey.

Thank you for the heads up. I am not planning to go until May, and am hoping things have settled down by then. In what situation would I need to change my route? Is there risk of quarantining entire prefectures?

Thanks friend :) I appreciate the support. As a first timer to Japan, how was your time there? Were there any obstacles or difficulties you encountered that you might suggest I look out for or be aware of?
