Keiji (2days)
Very good English. The best of our four guides. Had the most free flowing and natural of conversations. Learned a lot. Stayed at the same guesthouse as us. So kind, so helpful. Got much needed cold medicine for one of us by talking with the store owner (she had it, but it wasn't out on the shelves!). Made sure we made it all the way to Hotel Urashima, and helped us navigate the ticket machine in Katsuura station :).

English speaking guide
An excellent guide who kept us going through the somewhat arduous last day. He had lots of local historical information, was flexible about our pace and stops and kindly met us at our accommodation. We were self-guided for the other 3 days, so it was great to benefit from local knowledge on the last day.

Mako-san was the best!
Mako-san took us, a family with out-of-shape 50-year-olds, up the very big first slope very slowly and carefully, and made our whole 4-day walking trip possible! In addition to setting the pace for us, she told us great stories, pointed out the sights, and generally showed us that we can take it slow as we want, and still get to our destination by sundown. She also gave us practical advice on Days 2-4, found a later bus transfer for us so we could sleep in. She was the one who contacted Kumano Travel for us when our train was delayed, arranging for some extra help on arrival, so we could catch the train. Thank you Mako-san, you were the best :)

Deeply enriching experience
This was undoubtedly one of the best hiking and travel experiences of our lives - and we have done a lot of backpacking. Learning about Shinto and Buddhist traditions, immersed in gorgeous ecosystem and magical forest setting - and maybe even most of all - getting to spend time with the wonderful local guides and homestay hosts in the incredibly charming old villages along the Nakahechi route, was a profoundly enriching experience that the 3 of us will always keep close to our hearts.

Mr Hashimoto Keiji was an amazing guide and speaks great English
Mr Mawatari was so patient, professional, and knew just the right moments to talk and when to give us space to enjoy the hike unlike some other guides who talked too much or didnt talk at all. His command of English was also very good, was so helpful and gave us very good tips along the way.

Best picture ops and tour!
My guide, Shu San, led me into the shrine complex and Nachisan and ensured I saw all the things I was most interested in. There are 460 steps into the shrine complex so be ready for that--wear grippy shoes. I had plenty of time to see the falls, take photos, and buy some Omomori for my loved ones back home. A precious and meaningful memory.

While we could not have predicted the weather during the time of reservation, it was a particularly hot and humid day in August. We felt badly our guide met and hiked with us that day under these weather conditions. She was very welcoming and shared with us her knowledge of Kumano Kodo, which helped us better appreciate our journey ahead as we started to hike.

Brilliant guide
The guide I had was excellent. She provided a lot of information about the things we saw on the way, she showed me how to pace myself with the trek and so on. She even took me into a local craftsman's workshop near the end of the hike. She also gave me instructions on how to find the trail for the next days hiking and went through my plans for the remainder of the trek to make sure I knew how to find my accommodation and what kind of things to look out for. It was a great way to start out the hike and, for someone with limited experience with hiking, it made for a great start to the adventure.

Well- paced guide
It was a well paced guide by Mr Seiji. He is accommodative to our requests to visit the wolf museum and spent some time at the kumano hongu taisha to pray and purchase omamori, and also visit the largest Torii shrine gate, before boarding the last bus to Yunomine Onsen. We would like to thank him for treating us to cake and tea.

Mimi made our tour super educational
We took daimon zaka and nachi falls tour. We are only 2 pax during this tour. Mimi who’s in her 70s is super nimble and agile. I cant believe that she is way faster than both of us. She made this tour very fun, educational, and enjoyable. She brought materials with her to explain all the histories and even the legend stories. This tour is one of my unforgettable trips in Japan. The nature, the walk itself, the stories and our awesome tour guide.

Guide
Our guide was excellent, and we were very happy to have hired her for our first day. She not only led us through that day, but gave us excellent advice for the rest of our trek. She was friendly and warm, and by the end of the day, we felt as though we'd made a new friend. Her English was not always easy for us to understand, especially when she spoke quickly, but she was patient and repeated herself when necessary.

We walked wirth Mr Shu the forest walk with up and down hills. Mr Shu kept a steady pace of walking which was good as the route was ups and downs. He had an outfit of buddhist mountain monks which was beautiful and interesting to see. He made sure that we get our stamps as we started to collect the stamps the day before.

We walked with Mrs Mako Kimura and saw villages and shrines on the way. Mrs Kimura was an excellent communicator. We were curious and had a lots of questions. She responded well to all of them. She provided interesting information on culture and nature and history and religions. She adjusted perfectly and intuitively to our speed of walking and pauses for photographs. The Hongu Taisha in the end was impressive. Mrs Kimura made sure that we find our bus to Yunomine Onsen and waived for goodbye. Thank you for her warm and informative guidance!

You better keep up.
At first I was taken back. I'm an avid hiker, and I thought our guide would have a difficult time keeping up. Not only was I wrong, but she outwalked my young, fatter, and pudgier brother. She gave us detailed information on the area, and we had fun going through rocks, and holes. It matched my adventurous spirit.

We also enjoyed this guide who walked with us for two days. A couple of thoughts on guides: - Would be great to have the same person for all days - He seemed to understand all the points in his guide book (which was a useful primer) but didn't necessarily know anything further on various areas (history, flora and fauna). - Communication was not all that easy given our lack of Japanese and his somewhat limited English.

We enjoyed walking together with Kennis the first part of our hike. She gave much information regarding the Kumano Kodo hike and also about our next days in Kumano Kodo. We had the pleasure the eat the night before our hike in her husbands restaurant and she recognized us. That was very nice :) The restaurant btw is also very good!

Mako is a great tour guide!
Mako is a wonderful tour guide who taught us about the history of the Kumano Kodo. She even crawled through the small cave with us so we could be reborn! She was very enthusiastic about my becoming a Dual Pilgrim and made sure the other guides knew the importance of my getting to Grand Shrine Hongu Taisha. Also, I left something I purchased from a gift shop on the bus -- Mako and Kennis helped me get it back! They really went above and beyond.

May arrived early and with her husband -- who blew a conk shell for us before we left on our journey to ask for safe travels. It was really special. May speaks excellent English and was helpful and encouraging to us along the journey. She is particularly knowledgeable about the religion of the Kumano Kodo and it was wonderful to learn about it from her. It really added to the experience.

Kennis deserves more than 5 Stars!
Kennis is such a great tour guide -- she deserves more than 5 stars! She shared with us about the history, religion, and culture of the Kumano Kodo. She was very helpful in arranging the Dual Pilgrim certificate and ceremony at Grand Shrine Hongu Taisha. I had hoped to bang the Taiko drum at the shrine and she arranged that for me. She is also a photographer so she took some great pictures with my phone. I left some items purchased at the gift shop on the bus from the Grand Shrine to Yunomine Onsen -- and Kennis and Mako arranged to get it back from the bus company and delivered it to me before I left for the airport. Such amazing and kind service!!

Kennis was our guide on day 2 of the trek and it was our longest walk. She was a fantastic guide and great company (we shared stories about our lives and countries). Having 3 boys herself, she understood immediately how to connect with my 2 boys and was really fantastic with them from start to finish - answering their endless questions about things related and unrelated (!) to the walk, running ahead to keep pace with them and tending to all their needs. She carried a backpack, which we referred to as the magic bag as she pulled endless things out that we didn't know we needed - energy drinks (extra sugar for the kids), sweets, fans, plasters, wipes. She really kept us going and on track on this 14km walk and shared lots of knowledge about it's natural wonders and spiritual context. She is a special lady, and that day, in such intense heat, we were so grateful to have such an experienced guide.

Keiji was our guide for the last day of the trek. Given the intense heat, we decided to cut short some of the walk and take a bus. Keiji has an interesting life story and my husband enjoyed talking to him about Japanese culture, politics and economy. He had lots of knowledge about nature and we really enjoyed eating his Umiboshi plums. Some more information about the Hongu Taisha shrine would have been welcome as we really just wandered around this large site, not knowing much about it's history.

Wonderful walk from Hosshinmon Oji to Hongu Taisha
Thanks to my guide Murakami Yoko san, I had a great experience of hiking Kumano Kodo on the part from Hosshinmon Oji to Hongu Taisha for about three hours. Yoko san is pleasant, experienced and professional. She explained the history, culture and religion in relation to Kumano Kodo, making the walk a truly amazing journey, albeit short. By her recommendation, I would want to try to walk from Hongu Taisha to Nachi Taisha in my next trip to the region.

We had a great guide for our walk from Takahara to Chikatsuyu. He was dressed up in some traditional japanese outfit and really enhanced our experience. We did seem to stop quite often but it was to explain all the history of trail and the area. He was very good about warning us about trail hazards and making sure the pace was good for us.

I walked for two days with Kendis and had the best of time. She is very knowledgable about the area and her English skills are very developed. She was also very kind to assist me with any additional logistics needs I may have during the trip. I am so glad that I did the hike with a local guide as it had substantially enriched the experience by allowing me to learn things which would be hard to do by merely reading.
