Will be heading to Japan in about 10 days to walk one of the Kumano Kodo routes in the Kii mountains. Given that the Kumano Kodo and Spain's Camino are the two Unesco heritage trails I have found out that you can qualify for an award, A "Dual Pilgrim" award, for someone who has walked both the Kumano Kodo and the Way of St.James (Camino de Santiago).

Thanks for thatJust be sure to bring your Credencial with you as proof of completing the Camino de Santiago. My husband and I are walking the Kumano Kodo in Spring 2018!
Buen Camino!
We start out from Tanabe on Saturday 21st, although I think we actually start the walk from Takijiri.We may see you thereabouts. My wife and I are heading to Takamatsu tomorrow and walking 6 days on the 88 Temple route, then heading over for the Kumano Modo.
This was our 2016 Camino: https://www.polarsteps.com/MichaelMatthias/32127-camino-de-santiagoSounds like an amazing adventure!
I loved spending time in Japan with our foreign exchange daughter, with whom we contained a very close relationship. Japan is a fascinating culture, and I just may being able to persuade my husband to return for this walk.
Please send a link to your blog if you keep one for both walks.
Visits the tourist office at Kii Tanabe, located at the bus station. There you can get trail maps and credential for kumano kodo. It helps to book acomodation ahead of time. Have fun with collecting the stampsWe start out from Tanabe on Saturday 21st, although I think we actually start the walk from Takijiri.

I went to the tourist office to pick up the dual passport but they had no idea what I was talking about and even the office where you get your certificate had no idea they need to promote it better and this was in July this yearWill be heading to Japan in about 10 days to walk one of the Kumano Kodo routes in the Kii mountains.

Sounds so excitingI walked it last year. A wonderful experience.
At the end, when you finish the Kumano, the temple, the drum, etc.... it is something that will stay with you forever.
Buen Camino

Thank you, and yes, we’ll post our experiences.Have a truly uplifting experience along the way, and will be hoping that you will in time write a post on this forum about your experience.
Bon camino !
Here is the link to our trip blog:How's your trip @Rhysmike?I am looking forward to your blog/photos or anything you have to share from your adventure. The kumano-kodo is on my list and I just stumbled upon this post...very exciting to see a discussion on the forum about this unusual Camino.
Hello, thank you so much for the link and those "valuable"Here is the link to our trip blog:

Two learnings: 1. Walking through a typhoon can be a challenge. 2. We walked west to east, through Hongu, and didn't realise until we finished on the east coast that "all paths lead to Hongu" and we should have inquired about the dual pilgrim award in Hongu. Something to think about if you walk in the Kii peninsular.
Yes, that was a bit confusing. What I meant to indicate was that the Hongu complex and tourist center is in the middle of the peninsular, so whether you start from the west at Kii-Tanabe for example, or from the east in Kii-Katsura, you end up in the middle after two days or so. It's not like the Camino where you end up in Santiago.Hello, thank you so much for the link and those "valuable"tips!! I haven't really begun researching this camino yet, so please forgive my ignorance in asking if you are saying that you should have walked east to west? Or that literally all the paths kept taking you back to Hongu and it was difficult to stay on the "correct" route? If its in your blog, I'll look there... Thanks much, Sarah
Ahh. Thank youYes, that was a bit confusing.
