    Yes. Unfortunately I did not know where to get the Iseji pilgrim booklet, so I'm just collecting them in my notebook of stamps. :p There isn't that many stamps compared to the Kumano Kodo Nakahechi. It seems to only be on the pass where they...

    Day 06 - Furusato to Aiga. 20.8km according to my watch, including a 1km detour to my guesthouse. Today can be considered relaxing compared to what's to come. 3 relatively low toges in succession. What made it tricky is the lack of a convenience...

    As a matter of fact, yes. Yesterday at the top of Tsuzurato-toge while having my lunch 2 pilgrims arrived heading northwards. They mentioned that they did the kohechi and they encountered snow as well. There were 2 other pilgrims who were...

    Day 05 - Ise-kashiwazaka to Furusato. 26km according to my watch. Finally after 4 days of rain, the sun finally decided to come out of hiding. I decided to "celebrate" by walking the Tsuzurato-toge pass. This was the longer "original" trail...

    At the guesthouse on day 2, there was a Japanese doing the hike as well. He's 79 !

    Yes. Quite a number of them have Family Mart convenience stores too, which have lots of yummy snacks available. Just need to check the Kumano Kodo maps ahead of time to be sure you'll be passing any of them during the day.

    Day 04 - Misedani to Ise-kashiwazaka. 20.77km according to my watch. Another rainy day made the wall down Misesaka-toge pass rather tricky. It was streams and streams of water flowing non-stop. Probably 15% - 20% was on dirt trails (up and down...

    Day 3 - Tochihara to Misedani. A rather relaxed 16km today. A very light drizzle which lasted the entire day. There's a section of the trail which included using a "service tunnel" to cross under the train tracks. The map alao mentioned to stick...

    Been seeing posts on Facebook groups for both the Kumano Kodo and the Shikoku circuit that it has been pretty cold recently. Someone posted this on the Kumano Kodo group a couple of hours ago.
  • endlesstrail
    I've not been in this region in Japan at this time of the year before, so I don' have anything to compare it against. Sorry. That said, I was in Tokyo last year from 28th March and I experienced a couple of days of rain. I think temperature wise...
