Japan's Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage: Nakahechi, Koyasan, Kohechi, Iseji and Hongu Trails

A guidebook to walking Japan's UNESCO-listed Kumano Kodo pilgrimage trails, covering the Nakahechi, Choishimichi/Koyasan and Kohechi routes, as well as a Hongu loop, highlights of the Iseji route and shorter walks around Kumano Sanzan shrines. Since many of the trails involve steep ascents and descents, a moderate level of fitness is required.

Routes vary from 5 to 64km (3-40 miles) and crisscross the mountainous Kii Peninsula, south of Osaka. Some can be enjoyed in a single day or half-day, whereas the Nakahechi and Kohechi routes lend themselves to a 4-day mini-trek. Spring and late autumn are best for the trails, although the Nakahechi can be walked year-round.

1:50,000 mapping plus larger-scale maps for key towns and the main shrines Detailed information on public transport, accommodation and refreshments Advice on planning and preparation Fascinating insights into Japanese culture and spiritualityGPX files available to download
