I plan to visit Kumano Kodo, a UNESCO World Heritage pilgrimage route, during my solo trip from July 10 to July 20, 2025. Spanning 11 days, this journey promises a deep dive into Japan's spiritual and cultural heritage. As an archivist with a passion for cultural exploration, I am eager to walk these ancient paths, which have been traveled by pilgrims for over a thousand years. Readers can expect insights into the history and traditions of this sacred trail, as well as practical tips for their own journeys. I chose to stay at Jokiin in Koya, a peaceful retreat that offers easy access to the trail and aligns with my appreciation for culturally immersive accommodations.
