Kumano Kodo article in Afar magazine
High Endeavors makes a valid point, but if it’s the paper you want the 88 Temples route does’t qualify, only the two UNESCO World Heritage Pilgrimage Routes.- Saranger

Kumano Kodo in Japan / river approach or river trip
The good news about the rain is most of the time you’re walking in the forest and the canopy should keep the rain gentle. The mist is so magical. The bad news about rain is the trail can get very slippery as it is quite steep, on stones, and over tree roots. I found my poles to be invaluable...- Saranger

Kumano Kodo in Japan / river approach or river trip
Have a great time and hope the weather is good. It rained 1/5 days for us. Maybe we should coin a new phrase and say “Buen Kumano!”- Saranger

Kumano Kodo in Japan / river approach or river trip
The Kumano-gawa boat ride was excellent! It is very dependent upon water level and weather conditions. Book ahead and you'll be informed by 8:30am the morning of your trip if the boat is a go-no go. We had spectacular weather and Tomoko-san an excellent guide. There's a stamp for your Credencial...- Saranger

Kumano Kodo article in Afar magazine
We didn’t meet any other Camino veterans and only encountered 5 people over three days of walking: four were Japanese retirees walking the opposite direction on day 1, and one Japanese solo walker about our age on day 3. We did see a lot of day trippers on day 3, mainly from Australia. As the...- Saranger

Kumano Kodo article in Afar magazine
I booked through the local Tanabe travel as well. I took some Japanese classes in university 25 years ago but am not proficient at all. Throughout my many other visits to Japan I have always made it past the language barrier with smiles and friendliness (they are universal). I'll make a post...- Saranger

Kumano Kodo article in Afar magazine
Sounds memorable. I love Japan and have also been many times. Climbed Mt. Fuji at night and saw the sunrise from the summit in 1999. So many wonderful places to visit and not enough time!- Saranger

Kumano Kodo article in Afar magazine
This article appears in the current issue (Feb-Mar '18) of Afar magazine. The 1,000th Dual Pilgrim (program began in 2015) was recognized in February 2018. I imagine the number of foreigners undertaking this pilgrimage will only increase as the Kumano Kodo receives more international media...- Saranger
