Pilgrimage to 18 Shingon Temples

The 18 Head Temples of Shingon School have a very long history.

Kobo Daishi (Kukai) established most of these Temples to train his disciples and Shingon priests. Some Temples were built to conduct prayer services for the country and its people to create peace and harmony. Numerous Emperors became priests after they retired their thrones and became the head of these Temples in Kyoto. Each of these 18 Temples represents a profound teaching of the Shingon tradition. By visiting them, we open to the opportunity of understanding these teachings and implementing them into our practice and our daily lives.

Location:
The 18 Temples are located in Kansai, the western region, Japan and stand within a 1,360 kilometers stretch (850 miles). Eight Temples are in Kyoto, 4 in Nara, 3 in Hyogo, 2 in Wakayama and 1 in Kagawa Prefecture.
