🌿 Henro Hub 2 is here.

After months of work, this is by far the biggest update since Henro Hub first launched.

Henro Hub now brings together 3,300+ places across Shikoku and more than 2,700 km of pilgrimage routes and tracks — with many new tools to help you explore and plan the pilgrimage.

What’s new in version 2:

📴 Offline maps, places and routes:
Use Henro Hub even when you have no internet connection.

🔎 A completely new search system:
Search temples, lodging, services, regions and routes — even things like "rest huts between Temple 37 and 38".

🥾 A new route planner:
Plan between multiple points and compare different route options.

🚲 Bicycle routing — Beta:
A dedicated bicycle option is now available for testing.

⛰️ Elevation, slope and route information:
See distance, ascent, descent, elevation profiles, slope and route types before deciding which way to go.

🗺️ A much larger pilgrimage network:
Explore the Shikoku 88, alternative routes, Bekkaku connections, Okunoin approaches and many other paths across the island.

⭐ Personal pilgrimage tools:
Save places and routes, add private notes, measure distances and discover useful places nearby.

And there are many smaller improvements throughout the map, filters, location tools and native apps.

Henro Hub 2 still feels familiar, but underneath, it has grown into a much more complete companion for exploring and navigating the Shikoku pilgrimage.

Available now for iPhone and Android. 🙏

Today we're celebrating! 🤩
The Henro Hub app was officially released in the App Store, and Android has just gone live as well.

What started as a small idea while walking the Shikoku pilgrimage slowly turned into a full platform to help pilgrims explore the route, all in one app: temples, lodgings, hidden spots, and practical information.

The web version

If you're walking the Shikoku Henro (or planning to), I hope this becomes a helpful companion on the road.

Today we are very happy to share something that has been growing quietly for a long time:

Henro Hub — a visual map platform for the Shikoku pilgrimage — is now available as a web-first release.

It helps pilgrims see temples, routes, accommodation, and support places together on one interactive map.

It is already fully usable and can be installed directly from your phone browser like an app. Native App Store and Google Play versions are currently in progress.

Henro Hub was created through years of walking, collecting data, and working to understand the pilgrimage as a connected pilgrimage landscape — temples, routes, accommodation, rest places, and infrastructure all working together.

Our focus is simple:
• clear visual navigation
• structured temple information
• connected places along the route
• practical support for real walking pilgrims

Most temple information is already very detailed.
Accommodation and other places will continue to grow and improve over time.

Henro Hub is not a finished product — it is a living system that will develop together with the pilgrimage community.

With gratitude to all pilgrims, supporters, and friends of Shikoku who inspire this work every day.
