I'm truly grateful that the google translate function exists and that many popular mountain huts are constantly updating their websites to be user-friendly. Sadly some huts still use the same interface as when they launched their websites in the 2000's and only accept reservations by phone.

Your green screen shows an Aussie park, but the elevator music gives your location away. Is it safe to cook in an urban elevator and how do you manage the passengers safety? PS The anodised aluminium pots may give you Alzheimers but if you're mountain climbing you probably don't need to worry about that.

Yea MT.Fuji is pretty rough if you don’t have a lot of experience and like super cold on top of the mountain like negative degrees if it’s summer if is so hot is Japan but I fell like ten times going down and the hotels are really uncomfortable but it’s worth it because you get a beautiful view and you get to say you climbed mt.fuji which not a lot of people get to say.

Your singing added even more enthusiasm to the video. Your food also inspired me. Never thought of taking seaweed or dried mushrooms.

On the mountain climbs, are there signs or anything to see where you're going, or if you're going the right way??

Hey. There are normally arrows or rock cairns which you follow to guide you to the right track or summit. Sometimes there would be a pile of rocks to show you where not to go too. Takes a bit of getting used to.

hello, need help: Planning this, pick on 17th August a train from Kyoto to Kii-Tanabe and sleep there the first night. Second day wake up early and pick bus to Takijiri and do from Takijiri to Yunomine Onsen, it's around 35 km (I am used to walk and run a lot, I did Camino some stages of 30 and 35 km per day with a rucksack, I'd bring a lighter one since is summer and clothes need to be light). Arrive at afternoon in Yunomine and rest. Third day wake up around 7 AM and walk in chill pace to Hongu, register there as Dual Pilgrim, pick bus to Shingu and visit Hayatama taisha (is it big?) then from Shingu to Nachi should be at noon and from Nachi around 5 PM pick a bust to Kii Katsuura and leave around 6:45 PM there's a train all the way back to Osaka. Do you think is doable? it's a bit rush I know but I am used to do long walks, I did Sarria to Santiago in the Way of Saint James, 110 km in 3 days and half so I'd say I'm fit
@AlainStewart3 ай бұрын
Sorry for the late replay. Yeah, if you're used to walking long distances, I think you can definitely do it. The trail is easy to follow, but there are a lot of mountains to go over. You might want to make yourself aware of the bus time tables and bring food, snacks ect just incase you get delayed. Not a totally isolated place, but would villages are a bit far between a not many food options available and limited business hours. Good luck
@physiotherapistpaulina93406 ай бұрын
Hi Alain, nice practical vid. You said that was your day pack? Did you shuttle the rest of your gear with a taxi service then? how many days did it take for you to do that particular route in January? How slippery or snowy were the trail at that time? did you find it more challenging to get accommodations along the way? we are considering doing the trail in January 05, when it will obviously be less popular. Did you enjoy the onsens? I hope it was a great experience for you. cheers from western Canada ( mild winters)
@AlainStewart3 ай бұрын
Hey thanks for the comment. Yes, I loved the onsens in Yunomine onsen. I think I booked accommodation 1 month in advance at the time. I recommend booking as early as you can given the Japan is such a popular destination these days. Not sure how easy it is to get accommodation on the fly these days too. Didn't experience any snow like I thought but there may be a chance of ice. I recommend having some micro spikes for safety. I did shuttle my large luggage from Osaka to my accommodation in Yunomine onsen, then onwards from there so I didn't need to lug it around. By the way, check out 'Currently Hannah' and her trips to Kumano Kodo.

Hey man. No need to register for the hut. Simply just go and camp there. Beds are on a 'first-come-first-served' basis. The only thing you need to register are your trip intensions at the start of the hike in the booklet. Good luck.

Hey! I was reading the comment about where you slept and everything which is very helpful, as I would like to try my hand at the trail in some fasion. I am very new to the whole backpacking thing and I would like to know if you had any issues with water supply along longer stretches. Was that ever an issue? Also, when it comes to sleep, did you run into any issues with authorities or anything? I understand that it is not super easy to find a place to sleep, but I would like to bring a hammock and see what happens. Any info on these things would be greatly appreciated as I am trying to piece together an idea of how I should approach this trip.
@AlainStewart3 ай бұрын
Hey sorry for the late reply. I issues with authorities but I just kept a low profile, setting up camp after sunset then leaving early in the morning. Could try a hammock but might limit your camp options. I just went with a tarp and bicycle setup so I could sleep anywhere. Water is also everywhere and lots of convenience stores (combini) along the way. Plenty of no places to restock. Hope it all goes well for you and good luck.
