About this book
Reviews
“This is a data-rich study that shows the complexities of faith in local settings in Japan not only spatially, but temporally as well–as new global forces, like the possibility of receiving World Heritage Site Status, transform the way people understand local manifestations of the sacred as a cultural resource. This is … for serious researchers interested in Japanese religion, sacred geography, and pilgrimage and religious tourism.” (Mark MacWilliams, Religious Studies Review, Vol. 42 (1), March, 2016)
