The main purpose of this Japan trip is to walk Kumano Kodo (熊野古道) and to visit Japan Alps. We have been to Japan a few times and have visited Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, but we have never been to Nagoya. Therefore, we will also spend extra time sightseeing in Nagoya.
For the Kumano Kodo walk, we booked a self-guided tour with luggage transfer with Walk Japan. This is a very popular walk, and we are going with 6 friends, so we booked the trip a year ago.
Kumano Kodo is one of the only two UNESCO pilgrimage routes — the other one is El Camino de Santiago. Several of us have walked El Camino, and we would be able to get a dual pilgrim certificate after completing this walk.
