Henro no Akari Shikoku Pilgrim is a travel and navigation application designed to assist pilgrims on the Shikoku Pilgrimage. Developed by Shikoku Electric Power Company, this free Android app utilizes beacons installed on power poles throughout the region to provide users with useful information during their pilgrimage.

The main goal of Henro no Akari is to support pilgrims by offering location-based information directly to their devices. With the app, users can receive directions, short introductions about temples, and information about recommended restaurants, cafes, accommodations, and famous spots along the pilgrimage route. The application can be customized to meet individual needs, ensuring that users receive information that is relevant to their preferences.

The app offers several main functions, including detailed temple introductions for all 88 temples on the pilgrimage route. Users can also create a pilgrimage album to record and organize their favorite pictures from the journey. The app's integration with the beacons allows for automatic recording of the date and time of each temple visit.

Additionally, Henro no Akari provides area information, such as discounts and events near stores along the pilgrimage route. Users will receive notifications when they are near these destinations, but can also access the information at any time they need. The app also features a pilgrimage map, allowing users to search and navigate from their current location to their desired destination. Store information is also displayed on the map for added convenience.

Please note that the recommended operating system for this application is Android 6.0 or higher, and there may be some compatibility issues on certain devices.
