Japan's Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage: The UNESCO World Heritage trek
By Kat Davis
()
About this ebook
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 and highlights of the Iseji route. 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). 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.
- GPX files available to download
- 1:50,000 mapping plus larger-scale maps for key towns and the main shrines
- Detailed information on public transport, accommodation and refreshments
