ITINERARY
DAY one
Kii-Tanabe
It is best to fly into Osaka on this trip and then travel by train to the small coastal village of Kii-Tanabe, the gateway to the Kumano Kodo via the picturesque coastline. Kyoto is a one-hour train ride from Osaka airport and we recommend staying here at least for one or two nights if you haven’t visited Kyoto before.
Kii Tanabe is a small Japanese town that is not populated by tourists. The town is on the ocean and serves the local area. Get into the Japanese spirit with a purification ceremony. There is an opportunity to explore the town, its many small shrines, the beach and ample time to ready yourself for the upcoming walk, including a briefing session with your Kumano Kodo guide in the evening, where you get to know your fellow walkers over a meal together.
Accommodation: Western style hotel in Tanabe
Meals: Group dinner
DAY two
Takijiri-oji to Chikatsuyu
The walk on the Nakahechi route begins with a significant climb passing through Takahara, a small village perched on the side of a mountain. The Nakahechi is the imperial route once used by Japanese royalty, walked for generations back to the 8th century. There are beautiful views as you skirt across the face of the mountain before the trail winds its’ way back into the forest. This is the first real sense of walking through the distinctive Japanese forest canopy on the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage.
Accommodation: Small family-run Minshuku in Chikatsuyu
Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner
Walking: Moderate /14 km / 5 to 6.5 hrs
Elevation: +630 / -610
DAY three
Chikatsuyu to Hongu Taisha
It’s an early start today, for this is the biggest day of the pilgrimage. We hike ancient mountain trails to Hongu Taisha, one of the three main shrines of the Kumano Kodo. You’ll hike the sacred Kii Mountains, said to be the entrance to the land of Yomi, in mythological terms the Shinto underworld. Pass through small villages, thick green forest and aside cascading streams. Pass shrine after shrine, eventually arriving at Hongu Taisha, where you can explore the massive temple. Before dinner, take a dip in either your accommodation’s onsen or one of the many ancient public onsens that dot the area. Dress in your Yukata (best described as a formal Japanese bathrobe ) that’s provided at each of the accommodations and enjoy a traditional multi-course Japanese dinner.
Accommodation: Family-run Minshuku or Ryokan in either Kawayu, Yunomine or Wataze Onsens
Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner
Walking: Challenging / 24 km / 8.5-9.5 hrs
Elevation: +1130 / -980
DAY four
Rest day and time to relax and explore or undertake additional walks
Today’s rest day in Hongu enables you to fully enjoy the location’s natural beauty and significance.
There’s the option to spend extra time at Hongu Taisha and the cultural centre (you may have been rushed yesterday) or simply relax and dip in a 1200-year-old onsen in the river. Take a wonderful boat ride on the Kumano River to Shingu (we advise booking this in advance, contact us for more info). Explore the area on a bike, sit in a cafe and savour a good coffee or immerse yourself in one of the many unique Japanese activities available.
Accommodation: Family-run Minshuku or Ryokan in either Kawayu, Yunomine or Wataze Onsens
Meals: Breakfast and dinner
Walking: Optional
DAY five
Ukegawa to Koguchi
The Nakahechi continues on the Kogumotori-goe path, one of the best walks the region has to offer. Starting alongside the Kumano River, the walk ventures up the mountain through forest and back down again to the small village of Koguchi. Highlights include views from Nyatten-gura over the 3600 peaks of Kumano. Today’s walk is the shortest of the itinerary, allowing time for a lazy day by the river, more onsen bathing or further exploration of the area.
Accommodation: Small family-run Minshuku in Koguchi
Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner
Walking: Easy to moderate / 12.8 km / 4.5-5.5 hrs
Elevation: +670 / -690m
DAY six
Koguchi to Nachi-san
The start of today’s walk is as challenging as you can get, but it’s our favourite on the Nakahechi, so you’re in for a real treat. There’s a fair bit of elevation and walking up, but the views out over the Pacific and the glimpses of mountains as you traverse through the forest make it all worth the effort. The highlight though is the walk into Nachi-San Taisha over the ancient Ogumotori-goe path travelled by thousands of pilgrims and then walking into the magnificent shrine. The panoramic scene of the superb orange Seiganto-ji Temple against the backdrop of the sacred Nachi waterfall, the biggest in Japan, is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful spectacles in all of Japan.
Accommodation: Family-run Minshuku or Ryokan in Nachi-Katsuura
Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner
Walking: Moderate to challenging / 14.2 km / 5.5-7 hrs
Elevation: +1260 / -930m
DAY seven
Farewell and onward to your next destination
After your last traditional Japanese breakfast, you farewell your group and guide. There is time to further explore the temple complex if you wish or make your way onwards to Osaka, Kyoto or a destination of your choice. There are many options to further explore in Wakayama. Stay in a beautiful seaside village like Shirahama along the Shihara coast. The Doro-kyo Gorge boat trip from Shingu is much heralded, or visit Koyasan, the spiritual capital of Japan. If you want even more of a laid-back experience, then the Yuasa or Hidaka areas haven’t changed much for hundreds of years and are a good place to head.
Meals: Breakfast
WHAT’S INCLUDED
- Relax and enjoy being fully supported on our guided walk on the Kumano Kodo Nakahechi end to end

ACCOMMODATION & DINING
Each night you will be staying in a Western style hotel, or a lovely Ryokan or Minshuku.
Ryokans are Japanese guesthouses that come in various styles, from traditional wooden structures to more of a modern hybrid hotel.
Ryokans have Japanese-style rooms with tatami mats, shoji sliding doors, and futons for sleeping on. Few Ryokan Hotels have rooms with actual beds. The rooms may or may not have ensuites, but be prepared for a little luxury when it comes to the heated toilet seats. The bathing area is often the pride of the Ryokan, especially when they’re located in an onsen area. These are usually communal and separated by the two genders.
Meals are one of the highlights of this guided walk. They are elaborate affairs from a Western point of view served in a traditional dining area. A traditional Kaiseki set meal is what is usually offered. Sometimes there is the option of a buffet at the larger Ryokans.
Please note: the accommodation on this group guided trip is unable to cater for dairy free, vegan or gluten free diets, or those unable to eat fish stock. More options are available at accommodation on our self guided trips.
GENERAL INFO
PUBLIC TRANSPORT
On this walk, you may have to catch a few buses with your guide and on your rest day; most of the rides are very short. This is by far the most eco-friendly and also the best way to get around the mountains. Do make sure you take sufficient change.
HOW TO GET START AND FROM END OF WALK
Travelling to the Start of the walk
This walk starts in Tanabe and ends in Nachi-san or Nachi-Katsuura. You will need to get yourself to and from the start and end of your walk (i.e. you will need to organise your travel to the start in Tanabe on the first day and then onwards from your last accommodation on the last day). This is not difficult and to make it easy, we have collated some useful information that will assist you in making arrangements for your travel.
By Air: The best option is to fly into Osaka and take the train from there. You can take the train direct from Osaka Kansai Airport to Kii-Tanabe (train station). Take a local train from Osaka city for a few stops and then hop on the Kii Peninsula JR West train. The train station is at the airport, and there are English-speaking staff at the ticket office. You might consider spending some time in Osaka or Kyoto. Osaka is a very interesting city and has many beautiful temples and of course Osaka Castle. In spring, it is particularly beautiful. It also has a sophisticated restaurant culture and markets that seem to go on for kilometres, literally. Kyoto is stunning and if you haven’t visited it before then we highly recommend spending some time there.
By rail: Japan has one of the best train systems in the world, so it’s very easy to catch a train to any destination in the country. An express train is the fastest way to travel to the area. Travelling in Japan on trains is a seamless experience, and it is not necessary to always pre-purchase tickets. There’s plenty of Rail staff that speak English well enough to direct you the right way and to converse with you about how to buy your ticket. We can provide more information if you wish, so please ask one of our destination consultants.
Hyperdia is a great website resource to figure out when and where your train departs. It might be best to buy your train ticket on the JR train network when you first arrive in Japan so you can relax. However, the trains run often and are so efficient that you shouldn’t have any trouble just arriving 20 minutes beforehand and buying a ticket. JR passes can be a convenient and reasonable way to get around the area. There are two regional JR passes that cover the Kii Peninsula: Kansai WIDE Area Pass and Ise-Kumano-Wakayama Area Tourist Pass.
The journey from Osaka to Tanabe takes about 1 – 2 hours. You can take the train direct from Osaka Kansai Airport to Kii-Tanabe (train station). Take a local train to Hineno station then hop on the Kii Peninsula JR West train. The train station is at the airport, and there are English-speaking staff at the ticket office.
If you stay in Osaka, then you’ll need to catch the Subway (Osaka Metro Midosuji) to Tennoji station. The tickets can be purchased locally. From Tennoji, it’s a JR train service to Kii-Tanabe bound for Shirahama.
Travelling from the end of the walk
By rail: The train from Katsuura (Kii- Katsuura train station is a short distance from Nachisan) back to Osaka takes about 4 hours. You can also choose to go to Tokyo or anywhere else for that matter, in Japan. However, you most likely will need to travel through a major city to get there.
By Air: See above
WALKING
This 61km walk is moderate to challenging. Walks average about 17 km with 5 –9 hours of walking each day, with the longest being 24 km. The walking is over well-maintained paths, but expect each day to start with moderate elevation gains. We recommend training and having a good level of fitness to complete this walk comfortably.
This historic route has an abundance of small temples (Oji) and statues to admire along the way. For much of the time, you are walking under a forest canopy which makes for mild conditions.
Please refer to Gear Advice in our FAQ section for what to bring.
WEATHER
As walkers, we believe any time is good for walking, but spring and autumn are the most popular as the weather is ‘perfect’ for walking.
Soaking in an outside onsen in the cool of the night is one of those authentic Japanese experiences you can look forward to after a big day on the track.
See the weather information about Osaka’s average weather at different times of the year.
INSURANCE
We require that you have adequate travel insurance against potential losses, damage or injury, including cancellation costs and loss of luggage.
For all trips requiring international travel, you must have purchased travel insurance including medical evacuation coverage.
We also charge a cancellation fee if you cancel your walking holiday after we have confirmed it to cover costs incurred by our suppliers and in the office. See the FAQ section for more information.
INFORMATION PACK
For nearly 30 years, we have taken pride in providing seamlessly organised walking holidays, but we know that you’ll have many more questions even with that in mind. You will receive a detailed information pack and itinerary approximately six weeks from departure outlining all the fine details and much more.

9 December, 2024 at 1:36 AM As I was short on planning time I decided to use Stroll which was a great way to take the stress out of my walk along the Kumano Kodo. The notes and instructions were more than adequate, accommodations very homely and charming and communication with the company was very easy so it supported what is a very beautiful walk.

28 November, 2024 at 7:18 AM We’re in our late 70s, enjoyed the whole time. We walked the 1st section 14k, then 7k second day. On our rest day we also walked around hongu from accommodation. Enjoyed the next day hike. Missed the last long hike and caught 3 buses to the nachi waterfall. Heard the last long walk was harder and more of the same, our legs had worked hard over the week, so we decided the down hill would be to much. Walking notes were good. Our walk was good overall.
