Bangai
Temples not part of the 88 but considered sacred sites
PilgrimageTemples
Bangai (番外) temples are sacred places that do not figure among the 88 temples of the Shikoku pilgrimage.
Hence their Japanese name: Bangai literally means “outside the numbering”.
On most websites, people confuse the term Bangai, which refers to all sacred places “outside the numbering” of the Shikoku pilgrimage, with the term Bekkaku, which designates 20 important, cataloged temples of the Shikoku pilgrimage. There are 20 Bekkaku temples. Visiting them during the pilgrimage adds approximately 200 km.
