Finished planning your Kumano Kodo trip? Check out Japan's other oldest historic route, the Nakasendo Trail, which I just mapped out here! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xYi6n9JeTQ">https://youtu.be/2xYi6n9JeTQ</a>

Linda - your Kumano Nakahechi and What to Pack videos are extremely helpful to me and my daughter on a forthcoming trek - straight to the point with all the necessary information that we need, and importantly, without the hype. Thank-you.🙏🙏

Thank you for this video, you gave me the best idea when it comes to the kind of itenerary that I need for my plan to walk the Kumano Kodo solo. I prefer to do the six days itenerary coz I plan to document my hike by taking a lot of photos and videos. I think that rest day suggestion on the fourth day is best for me. now I will start planning for next year. A big thank you from Hong Kong! Looking forward to more of your very informative videos.
