Japan

My partner and I just completed the Nakahechi route of the Kumano Kodo last week, probably one of the most strenuous, intense physical activities I've ever committed to. It was absolutely amazing, we had the best time ever! I would highly suggest anybody who wants to experience rural Japan to consider this endeavour, the woods are so magical, with such a rich history, and tiny pockets of civilisation nestled in the hills valleys and mountains filled with the most friendly people you could imagine. It will be one of the most cherished memories of my life, it was truly a whirlwind of emotions! Yatagarasu was our guide.
