Kumano Kodo Kohechi is an ancient pilgrim trail from Koyasan to the shrine or
Hongu Taisha. It is about 70 kilometers long and usually takes about four days.
Each leg ends in a saddle or valley - it is possible to arrange an accomodation
or transportation, but it requires to speak Japan. We did two days of travel
there and then had to move out to let Jana (Alice's sister) to return to
Osaka. We continued further to Wataze Onsen for a camp with nice spa area.

templates. One of largest is located in Okunoin graveyard, and it is said that
founder Kukai (post-humously named Koibo Daishi) is still there in deep
meditation.
