Honestly \u2014 isn’t Ohenro Daiko (\u304a\u904d\u8def\u4ee3\u884c) a little sketchy<\/span>? Someone tells me they walked all 88 temples on my behalf, and I’m supposed to just believe them? I’m wiring tens of thousands of dollars to someone I’ve never met, and if they skip half the route I’d never know. How do I avoid getting scammed<\/span>?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If the word “scam” crossed your mind while researching proxy pilgrimage, you’re not alone. Handing money and a deeply personal prayer to someone you’ve never met, asking them to walk 1,400 km of Shikoku on your behalf \u2014 of course you hesitate. Honest doubt is the right reflex here.<\/p>\n

Search “Ohenro Daiko scam” or “proxy pilgrimage fraud” and you’ll find plenty of people asking exactly what you’re asking. Pick the wrong operator and you’ll regret it for years. Pick a real one, and the prayers you can’t deliver yourself get carried faithfully to all eighty-eight temples.<\/p>\n
