Japan's Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage

Nakahechi, Koyasan, Kohechi, Iseji and Hongu trails

von Kat Davis, Howard Miller

240 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

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.
