My experience at Ryozenji temple was over-whelmingIy under-whelming. I arrived on a cold mid-November afternoon with the the expectation that the first Temple in a 1200 km pilgrimage would be quite impressive and inspiring of such a journey.

I was warmly greeted by the book shop staff, abruptly told that no English could be spoken, and gingerly directed towards the only English book on the shelves. After purchasing my guide book, the excellent and thorough "Shikoku Japan 88 route guide" I was directed inside the main temple, to where I could purchase my ohenro stamp book, with the first temple stamp already inside, only 87 more to go...
