Kumano Kodo - Dual Peregrino

[Texasguy]

Good morning Peregrinos,

Quick question. Has anyone done this walk to get the Dual Peregrino pin?

I am arriving to Tokyo on Tuesday, and will start the Pilgrinage in Kyoto on Wednesday, May 25.

Just looking for some feedback. My Japanese is non existent....and worry how easy will the communication be.

Thanks and Buen Camino.

Nope, Texas Guy, but it's on my list for this year or next.
There are some threads here to check--just do a site search...sorry not to be of more help.
It looks fantastic--Buen Camino and let us know how it goes!

Hi, maybe too late but I have done it.

I planned everyting using the kumano kodo website and by going to the tourist office in Tanabe-kii.

It really is an excellent website, very Japanese in its detail.

The communication was very easy, the Japanese are a really helpfull folk and especially on the kumano kodo I could feel a camino-like vibe among the people.

Jelle,
Thanks for the message.

I walked 70 miles of the Kumano Kodo, finishing with the 3 major temples. It was an incredible experience, very humid, rainy, and challenging. I stayed in Japan for 2 weeks.

One of the most incredible adventures. I truly loved it.

I am planing to go again next year to do a couple of more little villages. Te people were incredible. My Japanese was non existent, but i managed to have a great time.
Buen Camino,

Texas guy
