After walking the entire 170km Kumano Kodo Iseji Route

The Kumano Kodo Iseji route takes us along an exciting path through Japan's history, culture and nature.
It never was an easy route, walking the 170km of ancient stone laid paths along mountaintop ridges and pristine forests,
but that’s what makes it special. I’m so proud of Chris and Richelle for taking the challenge, completing the route, and seeing a side of Japan few non-Japanese ever do. Check out Chris and Richelle’s blogs and discover the beauty and wonders of the Kumano Kodo Iseji route.
