Summary：
In secularized society, faith and pilgrimage are not necessarily linked. Why do non-believing pilgrims go to holy places? In this presentation, I will consider the pilgrimage to Santiago in Spain as a pioneering model for secular pilgrimage, as well as power spots and anime holy sites in Japan.
