Kumano Kodo: on the trail again

 We made it to Chikatsuyu via train, then local bus through mountain roads;  and found iced coffees.  Our hosts that evening were a couple who had done 10 Camino walks in Spain.  We shared the accommodation with a family from Singapore & spent the evening eating amazing food and fascinating conversation.  


We hiked the final stretch to Hongu taisha; lovely weather, quiet woods & rock-hopping up and down.  Great walk!









The day ended at a roykan, which means folk wander in robes & slippers to steaming outdoor baths followed by amazing food.      Ah, Japan!
