Japan's Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage by Kat Davis

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 Advice on planning and preparation Fascinating insights into Japanese culture and spirituality
Originally from Melbourne, after graduating from university Kat moved to Japan, where she worked as an adventure tour guide. She quit her office job in 2013 to walk the Camino de Santiago and has since walked over 10,000km in England, Europe, Japan and America. Kat now lives in London.
