It was a remarkable journey and we were so happy to have done it. We found our way without an English guidebook, without a map and without speaking Japanese. The trail was well marked and we didn't have to worry about not having a map. There were some steep areas but in general the trail was an easy one. Most of it was through woods but there were portions through towns.
The most surprising thing was that there were bathrooms along the route. These were clean flush toilets with running water. The Japanese are so civilized.
We didn't have to carry much. Along the way, there were stores selling food and at the least vending machines selling drinks. It was nice to be able to stay at inns and get a hot shower every night and have a soft place to sleep.
The hardest thing about the trip was making reservations at the inns but I've included faxes and information on how to book your lodgings so it should be easier for you.
If you have a twinge for adventure and are not afraid to take a wrong turn, this is the right trip for you!
