The distance changes by depending on the ways to choose.
Using a car tends to increase the distance more than walking , becaouse there are many returning routes like directly return the route called "Uchimodori".Generally, you can make one round by walking in 40 days, or depending on a car or a group bus, you can do it between 8 days and 11 days.Furthermore, due to the improvement of the express way , the expert who worships at the shortest will make one round in 5 days.
