Its a must!

This was my first solo overseas trip and even though there were no bear sightings in the trail, I still chose to hire a local guide for peace of mind and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of my trip. On my longest walk on Day 1, I had the pleasure of being guided by Yukiyo-san. On my shorter walk the following day, by Asai-san. Both were incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and informative. I learned so much about the nature, history, culture and spiritual essence of the Kumano Kodo; things I would definitely have missed on my own and wont easily find online.

Bad information

We could not find the information on where we were to meet the guide. It wasn't on our booking confirmation. Our guide called us at the time we were to meet them and told us where they were, which was 40 minutes away from our hotel. That's too far, and anyway we had already started our walk

Good ending in KUMANO KODO

It is my last day in KUMANO KODO. The guide is Mr.Youhei Nakano who is like my old friends. I think that is a good ending. I told him I need to take the bus at 11 am cause I already booked the train to Nagoya at 1 pm. He gave me a very comfortable speed to walk. It is not rush, but not slow too. It makes me really enjoy my last day KUMANO KODO Trek. And we still chat a lot when we walk. I take the bus successfully, so I go back to Kii-Katsuura Station and still have time to eat lunch. Hope can see him soon again.
