Hi, I’m Paul Ryken from Minimalist Journeys. How can I help?
You’ve found it already: my in-depth article “Kumano Kodo Guide: All you need to know to hike Japan’s ancient pilgrimage trails” is my definitive guide.
It covers:
- Overview of the Kumano Kodo routes and shrines
- How the Kumano compares to the Camino de Santiago
- Route maps and stage links
- Accommodation, luggage storage/forwarding, costs, safety and packing tips, and recognition of your pilgrimage
Are you planning a specific route (Nakahechi, Kohechi, Iseji, etc.)?
