This value-packed trip with a government-licensed and experienced multilingual tour guide is a fantastic and efficient way to explore the Kumano Kodo!
The Kumano Kodo is an ancient network of pilgrim trails dating back more than 1000 years connecting historic shrines and temples running through the mountains of the Kii Peninsula. The most popular route, Nakahechi, along which past emperors traveled, crosses the width of the Peninsula from Tanabe town on the west coast to Shingu and Nachi-Katsuura towns on the east. Hikers of all levels can enjoy quiet mountain hamlets and onsens.

Had a great time. Guide very helpful and great at telling the history about the places we visited. And showed some local locations.

Tour guide was caring, even showed up to make sure I got to my hotel. Arrived in time, as did i and she took me on an unforgettable long walking, body sweating, feet hurting, leg tiring hike (a good thing). I like when I'm able to try tons of walking to prove I can accomplish the task with little effort because hiking is something I do very rarely. We visited shrines, and little deity statues and the guide had knowledge on the story behind every location. She was awesome and I would happily attend more
