Your Japanese Hiking Adventure, Simplified

Experience a different Japan. The Kumano Kodo is one of only two UNESCO World Heritage pilgrimage routes in the world. For over 1,000 years, it has captivated emperors, pilgrims, and everyday travellers seeking meaning and renewal.

​

Along the legendary Nakahechi route, you’ll trek through ancient cedar forests, quiet mountain villages, and pass sacred shrines that feel untouched by time. This is more than just a hike — it is a transformative journey that invites you to slow down, reflect, and connect deeply with Japan’s spiritual heart.

However,  planning it on your own can feel overwhelming: where to stay, how, where and what to eat, how to move your luggage, and how not to get lost!. With Home Comforts Hiking, all of that is taken care of for you. You simply walk, explore, and experience the pilgrimage — while we look after the logistics.

 

With Home Comforts Hiking, you enjoy all the magic of the Kumano Kodo without the stress. We look after the logistics. You carry your thoughts.
