Worried Reader<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
My elderly mom has been saying “I want to walk Shikoku” for years. But she’s in her 80s now, and her knees aren’t great. I’d love to take her, but I keep worrying \u2014 what if something happens out there?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If that sounds like your situation, you’re far from alone \u2014 plenty of people want to do the Shikoku Pilgrimage in their later years but can’t quite commit because of stamina or health<\/span>.<\/p>\n

People in their 70s and 80s say “I want to go” for real reasons: a life milestone, honoring a parent or spouse, doing it while they still can.<\/p>\n

But on the other side, knees, hips, heart, and blood pressure<\/span> all become genuine concerns. “What if something happens out there?” is a real fear families carry.<\/p>\n

In this article, I’ll walk you through three ways elderly folks can actually do the pilgrimage<\/strong> \u2014 and the alternative when even those aren’t realistic.<\/p>\n
