Walk Japan's ancient pilgrimage routes along the Kumano Kodo
Those on the group flight will arrive into Kansai Airport and will be transferred to Kyoto. Land only clients are free to arrive at the start hotel anytime today. With about 2000 temples, shrines and gardens, Kyoto is a treasure house of Japan's cultural heritage and remains undoubtedly one of the most fascinating cities in Asia. Unlike many other Japanese cities it escaped the ravages of both the Second World War and modern urban development, thereby keeping intact much of the spirit and architecture of traditional Japan. This evening there will be a briefing with your leader. *Hotel Resol Kyoto Trinity Oike Fuyacho or similar*
This morning we set out on our first hike to the northern mountains and the Kibune shrine, followed by the Kurama temple and hot springs. Our first stop of the day, however is going to be the Ginkakuji – Silver Pavilion. From Ginkakuji we climb up to the Daimonji mountain for an excellent view of Kyoto and then take a short train ride north to Kibune-guchi where the hike to Kibune and Kifune shrine begins. Kifune shrine was built upon the site where supposedly a goddess finished her long journey via a boat. The small town of Kibune sprang into existence shortly after to complement the shrine. Dedicated to the deity of water and rain, all those who seek protection and maritime safety come here to pray – especially the seamen and fishermen. The charming town is dotted with traditional restaurants and inns, with river streams running beneath the restaurant platforms. It’s an excellent opportunity to relax for a bit, especially for those that would like to escape the crowds of Kyoto. We then set out further on our hike for Kurama town, renowned for its Kurama temple and special hot springs. The temple is nestled deep in the woods and requires a fair bit of legwork to reach, but those who do venture to the temple are rewarded with beautiful scenery along the path. We return to Kyoto for the evening where you can choose to join an optional group dinner in the Gion district if you wish. *Hotel Resol Kyoto Trinity Oike Fuyacho or similar*

Leaving the north of Kyoto behind, today we will embark on a journey in the opposite direction. Together we enjoy a pleasant hike on the Yamano be no michi. The path is believed to be the oldest path still in existence connecting Edo (present day Tokyo) with the western parts of Japan with a history of more than 1200 years. Starting in present day Nara and spanning through what used to be Yamato – the cradle of Japanese civilisation, the trail will take you through over 15 kilometres of distance and two millennia worth of history. Along the trail you will discover gems and relics of distant past, like the sacred shrine of Omiwa. It is believed that the shrine is the oldest one still standing in Japan, dating well back into 7th century BC. Apart from the Omiwa shrine, there are many temples and shrines dotting the trail that are worth the visit and the trail itself runs through lush forests and comfortable paths, as well as rural villages where you can experience the true Japanese hospitality as fruit vendors often offer their locally grown fresh produce to visitors to give them an extra bit of energy for hiking the trail. In the late afternoon you will return to Kyoto and enjoy an evening at leisure. Overnight in Kyoto. *Hotel Resol Kyoto Trinity Oike Fuyacho or similar*

Today we make an early start to visit the arguably most iconic sight of Kyoto - Fushimi Inari Taisha Shinto Shrine. The common folk have worshipped the deity of good harvest and good business since as early as the 7th century. Inari – the deity that feed, clothes and protects households became immensely popular over the centuries and shrines dedicated to this deity are the most numerous in Japan. Even today, to show gratitude for good business as well as to beckon good fortune in future endeavours businessmen and entrepreneurs from all corners of Japan donate a so called Torii arch to the shrine in hope of gaining the continuous favour of the deity. Although this custom is fairly recent, the mountain path through the shrine is dotted with thousands of the torii arches. This makes for a wonderful morning stroll at the break of dawn. An early start and beating the crowds is recommended, otherwise you will have to compete with the hundreds and thousands of visitors Fushimi Inari attracts on a daily basis. After the hike we return to the hotel. The rest of the morning is free for visiting some of the famous sights in Kyoto such as the Imperial Palace, Nijo castle or the Golden Pavillion and lunch. In the afternoon we leave Kyoto by train and head to Kumano Kodo, a series of ancient pilgrimage routes, dating back to over 1,000 years, when Japan's imperial ancestors made pilgrimage trips from Kyoto. Located in the Kii Peninsula, the largest in Japan, the trails along Kumano Kodo are an incredible site for hiking. By train we reach Tanabe city on the coast at the tip of the Kii peninsula, where we spend the night in this rural seaside town. *Hotel Hanaya or similar*

After an early breakfast, we take a bus to Takijiri-oji, the starting point of the pilgrimage from where we make our way on foot to Takahara. This is the steepest part of the trail, leading to Takahara Shrine, a Shinto shrine surrounded by ancient camphor trees. From the shrine, we walk towards Takahara Village, also called “kiri-no-sato” (village in the fog), a small quiet town with rice terraces and surrounded by forests. The trail continues upwards until we reach the teahouse named Uwadawa-jaya, from where the trail begins to descend, passing by ruin shrines and small villages of Osakamoto-oji and Chikatsuyu-oji, crossing Kitano-bashi Bridge, and following the road to Nonaka-no-Shimizu, a source of potable water that also belongs to the Top 100 Famous Bodies of Water in Japan. Around Nonaka-no-Shimizu area, the group will be staying in a minshuku, a traditional family-style inn that offers Japanese-style rooms. Your dinner will feature some local specialties from the Kumano Kodo region. Please note, due to the smaller sizes of accommodation in this location, bigger groups may be accommodated across two minshuku inns this evening. However, the group will still have meals together in one of the accommodations in that case. As our hike tomorrow is a bit longer and more challenging, it is highly suggested to turn in early. *Minshuku Chikatsuyu/ Manmaru Inn or similar*

Today we start with a short 10 minute bus ride to the start of our hike. We first start walking uphill, and head towards the woods to see Tsugizakura-oji, a sub-shrine located at the top of steep stairs leading into a thick forest of huge cedar trees that are believed to be almost a century old. Next to the entrance of Tsugizakura-oji, we will find Toganoki-jaya, a replica of a traditional Japanese-style teahouse. We then continue with a slow ascent to Kobiro-toge pass, followed by a relatively downward trail along a series of paved and unpaved paths, passing Jagata-jizo, which is believed to protect the travelers from evil spirits, a couple river crossings and passing by thick forests of cedar and cypress trees until we reach Kumano Hongu Taisha, the head shrine of more than 3,000 Shinto shrines in the Kumano area. After visiting the shrine, we transfer by local bus to Yunomine Onsen, one of the oldest and most crucial hot spring resorts in Japan as it used to be the place where pilgrims cleansed themselves before praying at Kumano Hongu Taisha. Tonight you will stay at a ryokan, another traditional Japanese-style inn, where you will sleep on a futon, have access to the public onsen, and enjoy your bento style dinner. *Iseya Ryokan or similar*

After breakfast we take a bus from Yunomine Onsen to Ukegawa where today's hike (mainly along unpaved road) will commence. Today during the hike we pass by the remains of an old teahouse called Matsuhata-jaya and Hyakken-gura, one of the top spots in Wakayama to see the surrounding Kumano mountain range, which consists of around 3,600 peaks. From here we continue on a mainly level road towards the remains of the Sakura-jaya teahouse, before descending from the hills, along a path with cobblestones that can be slippery especially if wet or covered with moss. At the foot of the hill, we should find some small prayer tablets that have been left there by other spiritual hikers as offerings. We continue onto Koguchi, the end of today's walk where we take a bus via Kanmaru to Kawayu onsen. This place is famous for the hot spring beside the river. *Omuraya Ryokan or similar*

This morning we rise very early return to Koguchi to begin our hike. Today’s trail is one of the most challenging sections of Kumano Kodo – it will take us through forested hills and along unpaved roads. However, a series of historical sites and wonderful views awaits as we pass by Waroda- ishi rock (where the Kumano deities are believed to meet and chat over tea), through the woods of Irokawatsuji, and over Funami-toge Pass, where we have a glimpse of the Pacific Ocean. After hiking for almost 8 hours, we arrive in Nachi. Here we will see Nachi Falls, the highest waterfall in Japan, and pay a visit to Kumano Nachi Taisha shrine. Later in the afternoon you will transfer by local bus (approx. 30 minutes) to Katsuura, staying at a Japanese Inn on the beautiful islet dotted Katsuura Bay, where you will be able to enjoy listening to the ocean waves and relax after completing our hikes along the memorable Kumano Kodo. *Hotel Sunrise Katsuura or similar*

After having your breakfast, get ready for a short walk to return to Katsuura station on foot (with your luggage), from where we begin our journey by train to Toba, located in the neighbouring Mie Prefecture. The rural Mie Prefecture is famous for its forested landscapes and Mediterranean looking coastlines. The area is also famous for producing some of the freshest seafood in Japan and, in its waters, pearl cultivation has become an important activity. Upon arrival in Toba, we store our luggage safely at the station before having lunch and walking a short distance across to Mikimoto Pearl Island where we will learn all about pearl cultivation and the life of the Ama divers. These female divers are famous for their century's long tradition of diving for pearls without oxygen masks and here we will be able to witness an Ama diver demonstration. Afterwards, we continue to the area of Osatsu in Toba where we spend the next 2 nights at a ryokan in Japanese style rooms. *Ryokan Otaya or similar*
This morning there will be the opportunity to relax in the ryokan or enjoy a walk around the local neighbourhood where there may be the chance to visit a local shrine and temple or in warmer weather, enjoy a swim at the local sandy beach. Late morning, we take a short walk to visit the hut of an Ama diver, who will prepare a grilled seafood meal. After lunch, we continue to the Ise Shrine by train, one of the most sacred areas for the Shinto religion and a favourite pilgrimage destination for Japanese people. Just a short walk away, the picturesque district of Okage-Yokocho offers a great outlook on the traditional side of the area with its quaint shops selling local arts and crafts as well as food before returning to our ryokan. Tonight we spend our second evening in Toba. *Ryokan Otaya or similar*
A long and scenic train journey with one change today takes us to Kiso Fukushima in about 4.5 hours. Upon arrival at Kiso Fukushima, we take a short orientation tour with our leader. Kiso-Fukushima is a delightful town in Nagano Prefecture on the railway line between Nagoya and Matsumoto in central Japan and is located roughly half-way along the Nakasendo. Kiso-Fukushima was an important checkpoint on the route, and its historic sekisho, or barrier station, is one of only two on the Nakasendo. The Fukushima Sekisho-ato (checkpoint) is where travellers on the Nakasendo were made to wait and present their passes to travel on the highway. The Tokugawa regime was on the look-out for guns and women travelling in disguise; the daimyo (feudal lords) were forced to leave their wives and children in the capital of Edo as virtual hostages under a policy known as sankin-kotai. Across the Kiso River from the Fukushima Sekisho-ato is Kozenji Temple with an attractive rock garden. Kozenji Temple is free to enter and lovely especially in autumn. We spend the next 2 nights in Kiso Fukushima in a Japanese style rooms at a simple family-run ryokan. *Ryokan Sarashinaya or similar*
After an early breakfast, we travel by train to Nagiso in about 50 minutes. Upon arrival at Nagiso Station, we take a short ride on a local bus to Tsumago, a well-preserved post town. Tsumago was in its Golden Era during the time when merchants and other noble and prominent people frequently passed through for trade and other formal appointments. From Tsumago we start the journey to Magome, one of the post towns that flourished in the Edo Period. The trail that runs from Tsumago to Magome is perhaps the most popular section of Nakasendo. This ancient trail can be completed in about 3 hours, including some quick breaks. After concluding the trail, ride a bus to Nakatsugawa, and then a train back to Kiso Fukushima in just over one hour. *Ryokan Sarashinaya or similar*

After breakfast we embark on our last scenic train journey to Tokyo in a little over 3 hours and 1 change along the way. If weather conditions permit we may catch a glimpse of Mt. Fuji on the way. We recommend to buy a bento on the way for lunch as the journey is about 3 hours. Your leader will be able to advise. After check in at our hotel you have a few hours to explore Tokyo before an optional farewell dinner. *Hotel Dormy Inn Kodenmacho or similar*
For land only clients, the trip ends this morning after breakfast. Those on the group flights back to London will be transferred by shared shuttle in the late afternoon/early evening (depending on flight schedule) in time to check in for their flight. Land only clients also have a free shared shuttle departure on the day the trip ends included to either Haneda or Narita airport. The free shared shuttle departure transfer *must* be requested in advance with Exodus before departure if you wish to utilise this service (all requests are subject to availability and must be confirmed before departure). It is not possible to request this service once a trip has commenced.
* 8 nights in traditional guesthouses/ryokans in Japanese style rooms
(shared bathrooms) and 5 nights in comfortable hotels (en suite)
* 8 days guided walking
* Low altitude throughout with some longer steep ascents/descents
* Travel by train, local buses and metro
* Luggage transfers between accommodations on some walk days as required
All breakfasts, 6 lunches and 9 dinners are included.
Japanese cuisine is usually one of the main highlights of any trip to Japan.
It is based on rice with miso soup and other dishes which are usually
prepared with seasonal ingredients. Seafood is very common, and it usually
comes grilled or deep fried. Sushi and sashimi aside, other staple dishes
include Soba or Udon noodles, Sukiyaki (meat, fish and vegetables cooked in
broth) and Yakiniku (grilled meat).
The included breakfasts at the traditional guesthouses/ryokans/inns are
likely to be Japanese style.
The included lunches will mostly consist of bento boxes enjoyed during the
walks or in some instances may be taken in small eateries where available.
The included dinners are usually taken at ryokans (traditional guesthouses)
which may include a /kaiseki/ style dinner, a multi-course meal including a
dozen of tiny dishes prepared with locally-sourced seasonal
ingredients. When food is not included, your leader will always be on hand
to recommend the best local eateries and arrange some group meals for a full
immersion in Japan's varied and excellent cuisine.
Please note that in Japan the availability of certain specialised products
for restricted diets, e.g. gluten-free, strict vegetarian (no fish/seafood)
or vegan is minimal or non-existent. However in Kyoto and Tokyo a number of
vegan restaurants are available. It may also be a good idea to bring with
you some foodstuffs that you normally consume, or to supplement meals with
snacks purchased in the local convenience stores.
Please advise us at time of booking you have any specific dietary
requirements.

* 8 days guided walking
* Low altitude throughout with some longer steep ascents/descents
* Travel by train, local buses and metro
* Luggage transfers between accommodations on some walk days as required
*The trip is rated Activity Level 3- Moderate*
In total there are 8 days with walks/hikes during the trip. You will only be
required to carry your daypack during the walks. Where necessary, all main
luggage will be transferred to the next accommodation during the day so your
main luggage will be safely waiting for you at our next location.
The walk durations vary from a relaxed 2 hour hike up to a couple days with
hikes of 7-9 hours duration. Day 5, 6, and 8 will be the most challenging in
terms of the walks due to the distances and some of the terrain having some
long, steep ascents and descents. Therefore, a good level of fitness is
essential to take part in this trip. On some walks there may be the
possibility to take a local bus to the next stop on the trip for those
wishing to cut some walks short, but this won't be possible on all walks.
The trails are generally very well marked and most of the walking is on good
paths, soft soil trails and part paved roads. There are some unpaved sections
though. This is not a traditional point to point walking trip, there are
several days where transfers are taken by bus or local train to the start
points of walks and/or from the end point of walks to the next accommodation.
We spend 8 out of 13 nights in traditional guesthouses/ryokans in Japanese
style rooms to be fully immersed into the Japanese traditions and culture and
to stay in more remote, less visited locations. These rooms in the
guesthouses/ryokans will be twin share. Private bathrooms are not common in
traditional Japanese guesthouses or Japanese style rooms, so these 8 nights
will have shared bathrooms. Please see the accommodation section of the trip
notes for more details.
Traditional Ryokans/Guesthouses and Hotels
During the trip you will spend 8 nights in traditional guesthouses/ryokans in
Japanese style rooms (shared bathrooms) and 5 nights in comfortable hotels
(en suite).
For 8 nights during the trip we stay in ryokans; comfortable traditional inns
where we are able to get a close feel for the timeless rhythms and customs of
the Japanese countryside. Ryokans, whilst comfortable and full of local
character, do not run along the same lines as western hotels and do all have
their own unique style; some are more like Japanese B&B's with a homestay
feel and guests make their own Japanese style beds up, whilst others are
managed more like a standard hotel with bedding made up for guests. Rooms do
not generally have private facilities and bedding is usually in the Japanese
style with thick futon mattresses placed on tatami mats on the floor. Rooms
are always doubles or twin-share but bathrooms and showers are generally
communal. Please be advised, whilst females and males will be have access to
seperate gender specific bathrooms, inside showering and bathing facilities
can lack the level of privacy you would be used to in a western style shared
bathroom. This is very common in Japan and by staying in mostly traditional
ryokans, there is the chance to have a very authentic cultural experience
throughout the tour.
On day 5 of the tour, the groups will stay in Nonaka-Chikatsuyu. Please
note, due to the smaller sizes of accommodation in this area, bigger groups
may be accommodated across two minshuku inns in a neighbouring village (5
minute drive). However, the group will still have meals together in one of
the accommodations if bigger groups stay in two inns.
In Kyoto, Tanabe and Tokyo, groups will be accommodated in comfortable hotels
(Western style) with rooms that have private bathrooms.
Please be advised that the accommodation listed in each location of the day
to day itinerary are the standard accommodations used. However, there may be
some departures where groups stay at different accommodations of a similar
standard.
Please be advised single supplements are very limited and only available 5
nights of the trip- (3 nights Kyoto, 1 night Katsuura and 1 night Tokyo).
Please advise at time of booking you would like to request a single
supplement (subject to availability). In Japan, often single supplements can
be accommodated in either an actual single and/or double for sole use room in
hotels.
*Onsen (Japanese public bath)*
For many visitors to Japan the onsen is a somewhat unfamiliar territory. An
onsen is a Japanese hot spring and the bathing facilities and inns frequently
situated around them. The combination of a strict bathing etiquette, that
nudity is involved and compulsory, and that the water temperature is often
hotter than most Jacuzzis can cause some reluctance for first timers.
However, once the courage is mustered, you may discover that a dip in an
onsen is likely to become one of the highlights of your visit to Japan. We
will have the opportunity to try onsens on a few occasions throughout the
trip. Please be aware you may be refused entry if you have large and visible
tattoos. Some accommodations may have private baths available for
reservation.
All breakfasts, 6 lunches and 9 dinners are included.
Japanese cuisine is usually one of the main highlights of any trip to Japan.
It is based on rice with miso soup and other dishes which are usually
prepared with seasonal ingredients. Seafood is very common, and it usually
comes grilled or deep fried. Sushi and sashimi aside, other staple dishes

you some foodstuffs that you normally consume, or to supplement meals with
snacks purchased in the local convenience stores.
Please advise us at time of booking you have any specific dietary
requirements.
Transport will be by train, local buses and metro. It is worth mentioning
that the trains in Japan are both highly efficient and very comfortable so
punctuality on the part of Exodus passengers is requested throughout. Please
note that you will be required to carry your own baggage on and off
frequently used trains and buses and through stations.
There will be some days during the hiking days where luggage is transferred
from one accommodation to the next so you do not have to carry your main
luggage during any of the hikes.
As this trip stays in many smaller, rural locations, there will be short
walks involved from stations/bus stops to accommodations where needed.
*Travelling flight inclusive from London: 16 Days*
The group flight from London is an overnight flight departing the day before
Day 1 of the itinerary.

between Kyoto Station and Kansai International Airport. It covers the
distance in about 75-80 minutes and it runs regularly approximately every 30
minutes. The normal fare is around 2850 JPY. For up‐to‐date info on
prices and timetables and to book tickets, please ask the Travel Desk of
Kansai Tourist Information Centre. This is located on the first floor of the
Terminal 1 building.
Private transfers are not available on this trip.
Further information will be provided in the final joining instructions which
will be sent to you 2 to 3 weeks before departure.
Japan has four very distinct seasons. Our aim has been to avoid the extremely
cold winters and humid summers and settle for the more pleasant climes of
spring and autumn. In Tokyo, September and October are warm, maximum
temperatures are 26ºC and minimum 12ºC. September is likely to be the
warmer of the two (particularly the first half of September can be quite
warm) and there is a likelihood of rain. March is cooler with temperatures
possibly going as low as 7ºC with a high of 17ºC. Kyoto is very similar
climatically to Tokyo but the higher up into the mountains we venture, the
colder it will become with nights being especially cold, particularly in
March and October.
* Daypack
* Water bottle (1-2 litre capacity at least)
* Rain gear in case of wet weather
* Thermal layer of clothing and warm jacket
* Woolly hat and gloves during the cooler months
* Strong hiking boots with good ankle support
* Sunscreen and sunglasses & hat
* Basic first aid kit/items
We suggest a strong holdall or suitcase (ideally with wheels) for your main
luggage plus a reasonably sized, easy-to-carry daypack as there will be some
short walks from stations to accommodation through out the trip.
Bringing Medication into Japan for Personal Use: It is illegal to bring into
Japan some over-the-counter medicines commonly used in the UK, including
inhalers and some allergy and sinus medications. Specifically, products that
contain stimulants (medicines that contain Pseudoephedrine, such as Actifed,
Sudafed, and Vicks inhalers), or Codeine are prohibited. For more information
please contact the Japan Embassy.
* Walking poles
* Mosquito repellent
You should allow around GBP 20-25 (USD 25-32) a day to cover the cost of food
and drink when not included. It is possible to eat more cheaply than this, or
to spend considerably more, depending on the standard of restaurant chosen.
A certain amount should be allowed for optional entrance fees and bus/ taxi
fares not included in the itinerary. The cost of these will of course vary
according to individual preferences but a figure of around GBP 80/ USD 100 is
reasonable.
Tipping locals for services is not expected or required in Japan, so you do
not need to budget for tipping in restaurants or hotels - don't be surprised
if your money is returned if you do try to leave a tip.
However, if you feel that your leader has performed well over the course of
your trip, you may want to show your appreciation of their services - the
amount you give is entirely personal and at each individual's discretion, but
we suggest as a rough guide of GBP 2-3 per day is a good starting point.
