Incredible Experience

My wife and I did this route and it was the highlight of our entire Japan trip. The experience overall was one that we will remember forever. in regards to the hike, it is very challenging at times with all the incline, but well worth it. If you are an avid hiker, you will still be tested - but its nothing that you cant get through.

Amazing walk on ancient trails in beautiful Cedar forest

That was the best part of my Japan trip. I already want to come back to walk more of the trail. I had a great experience booking everything through the kumano-travel site. Everything was super smooth and well organized.

Wonderful trip

Overall, this was a great route that I'd highly recommend. I followed the recommended trekking route on the first day. It was perfect -- just the right mix of challenging elevation changes and easy flats. On the second day, I followed the recommended route but also walked from Hongu Taisha to Yunomine Onsen by following the trail over the mountain instead of taking the bus from Hongu Taisha. I also did this route in less than the recommended time (total hiking time of 9 hours, including a lunch break and 1 hour spent walking around Hongu Taisha). I wouldn't recommend speed-hiking like this unless you're a quite experienced hiker; I hike and trail run a lot, and doing the route this quickly was difficult. The final stretch from Hongu Taisha to Yunomine Onsen was quite steep, and I understand why the recommended route has people taking the bus instead. I walked this last stretch from 5-6pm, and the majority of the hike was in the dark (mid-October), which was a little scary since I didn't see anybody else on that trail (but did see a mamushi!). I saw many more people on the first day of hiking than on the second.

Amazing experience

Walking the Kumano Kodo was an unforgettable experience. The trail is stunning, full of beauty and a magical atmosphere. I did the Nakahechi route – the first day was tough, but the second day felt easier and even more enjoyable. Along the way, I met amazing people that made the journey even more special. The accommodations were perfect: comfortable rooms, warm hospitality, relaxing baths, and delicious food. Everything exceeded my expectations and made me feel cared for at every stop. Overall, this trip was wonderful, far beyond what I imagined. I am extremely happy with the experience and I truly hope to return one day.

Excellent Trek

We loved this trek and would highly recommended it. It's a hard two day hike, so be prepared for that.
