This tour is a one-day private car hiking trip from Osaka to the Kumano Kodo in Wakayama. The entire trip is private and does not involve sharing a ride. It is accompanied by a local professional driver-guide who speaks Chinese. You can easily explore the Kumano Kodo, a World Heritage Site, without having to transfer to public transportation.
The Kumano Kodo, a thousand-year-old religious pilgrimage route, is lined with lush native forests and winding streams, and offers access to classic attractions such as Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine, ancient cedar trees, and the ancient stone steps. The itinerary offers great flexibility; hikers can adjust the distance according to their physical condition. Those with less stamina can choose gentler, shorter trails, while those who enjoy hiking can extend their walk, stopping to take photos, rest, and savor local Wakayama seafood.
All luggage can be stored in the vehicle during the hike; you only need to bring a small bag and water, so you don't need to carry heavy items uphill. Our driver/guide is well-connected to the area, familiar with weather changes, trail difficulty, hidden photo spots, and can assist with reservations at popular restaurants and recommend less-visited, secluded sections of the trail.
Multiple vehicle options are available to suit different group sizes. Comfortable sedans are available for two people; small groups of friends and family can choose the 7-seater Toyota Alphard or the 10/14-seater Hiace. Vehicles are regularly cleaned and disinfected, and complimentary bottled water is provided, ensuring a clean and comfortable journey.
