In this article, based on the results of the field survey of the Pilgrimage to Saigoku, which I started in April, 2017, for about 8 months, I will examine what the modern Japanese are mainly pursuing through pilgrimage and the current significance of the pilgrimage. The Pilgrimage to Sai Goku came to modern society in Japan, and it has various modern significance in addition to religious and historical significance. Pilgrimage participants often have a pilgrimage with a couple, siblings, parents, children, or colleagues. Through this, it seeks to identify and strengthen the longitudinal human relationship between the ancestor and the offspring, and the lateral human relations between the family and peers. The pilgrimage is also the space and time of God, nature, and human trinity.
