TRAIL LOGISTICS | How to Plan and Book the Kumano Kodo Trail

When we first decided to hike the Kumano Kodo Trail in Japan, we didn't know where to start! This video runs through key information for planning your pilgrimage; as well as the booking process for accommodation along the Kumano Kodo.

We have recently partnered with Japan Rail Pass and you can now get your JR Passes here! There is no additional cost to you and it helps support the channel :)
