Beautiful walk!

We did the 3 days tour because of personal time constraints. We wished we were able to do more though, because the places that we visited were so beautiful and calming. We went with first-time hikers/pilgrims and while we were nervous about how strenuous the walk could be, we were able to manage the walk well while still challenging ourselves. The views of the forests and countryside, as well as the beautiful waterfall in Nachi, made it worth it. We should have prepared more for the fees of the train from Osaka, as well as the bus transfers, as they ended up being more expensive than expected. But still worth it and the costs were understandable, as we did travel a longer way than we expected.

Amazing - We will come back again!

This trip was great. Kumano Travel had all the resources and guides we needed for our journey. Staff at Tanabe Tourist Centre were very friendly and helpful. Bus to Kawayu Onsen was convenient. Kawayu Onsen was beautiful - we will be back. Pension Ashitanomori family were warm and welcoming. The path for the Kumano Kodo trail is very well marked and maintained - we want to come back again. I will recommend Kumano Travel and the friendly people of Wakayama to any foreigner looking to visit Japan.

Perfect!

Kumano Travel was so helpful in helping me organize my walk on the Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage trail.Without their help I would have been lost! They arranged the itinerary, lodging, and luggage shuttle service which made the walk so much more enjoyable. They were very prompt in getting back to me when I decided to do the walk at the last minute, after snowboarding in Niseko. Thank you Kumano Travel!

KUMANO KODO - that feeling you carry even after the trip is over.

I recently completed my Kumano Kodo Highlight Tour and I'm incredibly grateful for the entire experience. Kumano Kodo is not just a hike. It's a journey that slowly seeps in your spirit. It may not be for everyone but if you are seeking peace, reflection, and deeper connection to culture and nature, Kumano Kodo is an experience that will stay with you long after the trail ends. There is something grounding about the stillness of the forests, the shrines, the centuries old paths that pilgrims have walked before us. Every step felt calming. Every moment felt like a reminder to slow down, to breathe, and simply exist. When I went back to Tokyo, I realised how much the place affected me. It felt like I had left a piece of my heart in the mountains of Wakayama. I was not ready to say goodbye. I wished I stayed longer. That's how deeply the whole experience stayed with me. Kumano Kodo isnt just a destination. Its an experience of a lifetime and a feeling you carry even after the trip is over.

Bad organisation, lovely place

The booking system is terrible. The idea of only being able to book during Japanese working hours is mad. I didn't get a response for I think 6 weeks. One of the hotels we were booked into was unsatisfactory. It smelt of old smoke. We couldn't find information on where to meet our guide. It turned out that we were supposed to meet the guide two bus rides -- 40 minutes away -- from the hotel we were staying at. The area was lovely and the walks very good.

Great itinerary that makes you want more

Easy route, you have one day of walking in the trail for a few hours. You get to see some beautiful places that are a part of the whole Kumano Kodo experience.
