[QUOTE="MichaelC, post: 1039207, member: 41673"] I spent a couple days on the Kumano Kodo in November 2018. As others noted, it's not a single trail point-to-point trail, and you'll need to take buses and boats to actually walk coast to coast & connect all the major shrines. Here's what we did: 1. Day one: Train+cable car from Kyoto to Koyasan, night in monastery. [B]Highly[/B] recommended. This was one of the more gorgeous sites I've seen in the world. 2. Day two: Bus from Koyasan to Kawayu Onsen, a stop on the Nakahechi Trail. 3. Day three: Bus to Hosshinmon-oji; walked back along the Nakahechi to Kawayu Onsen. If I could have talked my friend into it I would have walked four to five days on the trail. 4. Day four: From here the trail was washed out by landslides, so the only way forward was to take a traditional boat down the Kawabune River. This was fun. From the end point we took a train to Kii-Katsura. 5. Day five: We met other pilgrims; some walked to the final shrine, Nachisan Taisha, others of us took a bus up the valley. Overall, I'd recommend it to get a deeper sense of Japan and Shintoism, and as a generally great week. I met a few people who walked for four to five days, and they said parts of the trail were much more rugged than in Spain. The stretch we did was pleasant. [/QUOTE]
