[QUOTE="katdavis, post: 245578, member: 23597"] Wanderer 64 - どうもありがとうございます! (Doomo Arigatou Gozaimusu) If you ever want someone to talk to at length about walking in Japan, fire away! (I lived in Tokyo for 7 years and went hiking as often as I could). I haven't read the book you mentioned, but I'm going to check if I can get it for my kindle, thanks for the recommendation. There's 2 types of temple lodging - paid (Shukubo) or free (tsuyado). The paid accommodation is available to everyone, usually between 5000 - 9000 yen incl dinner and breakfast. I assume the tsuyado is only for pilgrims, I stayed in many and some were very small so I think a pilgrim who has walked a long way that day might be a little taken aback to see tourists taking up the space... I love Japanese food too but as I was trying to do the walk on a budget my diet mainly consisted of convenience store food, if money's not an option and you're staying and eating at minshuku's and ryokan's then I think the food would be incredible. I did manage to visit quite a lot of onsens along the way so this was a wonderful way to relax at the end of each day. I decided to visit Koyasan at the end of my pilgrimage (I've been there quite a few times before when I worked as a tour leader), so my last day (Day 45), I took a 3am ferry from Tokushima across to Wakayama, then a series of taxis and trains to get to Kudoyama station where I did the 23km hike (Choishimichi path) up to Koyasan - this is an incredible walk although a little nerve-wracking with all the bear signs! I hope you have a chance to do the walk someday and if you have any questions, just ask :) Kat [/QUOTE]
