  Alain, this was so helpful! My youngest and I (they just graduated from college and this is a congrats! You! trip) are hiking the Nagahechi Route as part of a trip to Japan in May, and I confess i was a bit overwhelmed trying to plan for it. Your video really helped clarify some of the fuzzy areas., so again, thank you!

  Thanks for the informative video Alain. Do you know whether we can send the luggage every 2 days instead of every day? i.e. backpack to carry day 1 and 2 attire, then got our luggage at the end of day 2, and repeat for day 3 and 4. Also, curious how you do your day 2 hike (which is the longest segment of the 4 days) with such a short day light hours + you need to take the bus in the morning back to the hiking route. Cheers mate!

  hello, need help:<br><br>Planning this, pick on 17th August a train from Kyoto to Kii-Tanabe and sleep there the first night.<br><br>Second day wake up early and pick bus to Takijiri and do from Takijiri to Yunomine Onsen, it&apos;s around 35 km (I am used to walk and run a lot, I did Camino some stages of 30 and 35 km per day with a rucksack, I&apos;d bring a lighter one since is summer and clothes need to be light). Arrive at afternoon in Yunomine and rest.<br><br>Third day wake up around 7 AM and walk in chill pace to Hongu, register there as Dual Pilgrim, pick bus to Shingu and visit Hayatama taisha (is it big?) then from Shingu to Nachi should be at noon and from Nachi around 5 PM pick a bust to Kii Katsuura and leave around 6:45 PM there&apos;s a train all the way back to Osaka.<br><br>Do you think is doable? it&apos;s a bit rush I know but I am used to do long walks, I did Sarria to Santiago in the Way of Saint James, 110 km in 3 days and half so I&apos;d say I&apos;m fit

  Can i ask you a question ? (or anyone here who read this comment) I wanna try the Kumano Kodo too (the &quot;easy&quot; one , the Nakahechi ) but i also wanna travel here during february (i wanna see some other thing that occur during february). Is it okay to do that ? how cold is the path and will i encouter snow ? What should i wear ?<br><br>Also i&apos;m affraid of spider , what should i expect here ? I read a few thing about spider and snake but i don&apos;t know how often you will encounter those one .<br><br>Thanks for the answers , i should add that i was in japan in march 2023 and i&apos;ve done one little hike on mount takao so i&apos;m not very well experienced . I didn&apos;t encounter any wild life and it was hot so i was using t-shirt + short (my pants can become a short if needed )<br><br>Edit: other video here respond partialy to that , sorry for the fuss , thanks again for the time to make these , very informative , very usefull !
