Kumano Kodo Planning Kit

Description

Everything you need to walk the Kumano Kodo’s Nakahechi route, self-guided. I walked
it in July 2023 and turned every guide on my site – the route call, the day-by-day, the
Kumano Travel booking walkthrough, the luggage transfer, the packing and the real budget
– into one branded bundle, so you are not piecing it together from a dozen browser tabs
at midnight.

A guided Kumano Kodo tour runs $1,200 to $1,800 per person. This is the same plan,
self-guided (the better experience anyway), for the price of a trailside lunch.

What you get (an instant-download bundle)

• The Planning Guide – a 38-page illustrated PDF: the day-by-day
  itinerary (matched to my free 7-day itinerary, with a proper rest day at Yunomine Onsen),
  an honest “how hard is it, really?” section, the complete Kumano Travel booking
  walkthrough with screenshots (updated for their new Dynamic Packages system) and
  copy-paste booking messages, luggage transfer, when to go, a safety and bail-out plan,
  plus onsen, swimming and the Dual Pilgrim certificate.
• A printable Packing Checklist – its own file: the full tickable
  gear list, season by season (summer vs shoulder vs winter), with how much water to
  carry.
• A printable Budget Planner – its own file: my real costs, the cash
  plan, and a fill-in-your-own worksheet to price your trip.
• My Nakahechi trail map – the same clean map I sell as a print,
  included inside the guide as a functional pull-out.
• The full Google Maps pin set (normally $5) – every stop, on your
  phone, online or offline.

Plus

• Free lifetime updates. The trail changes – when it does, I email you
  the new files, free, forever.
• Direct WhatsApp access to me. Stuck on your dates or your route?
  Message me directly on WhatsApp and I will help before you go – a real person on the other
  end, not a support ticket.
