Japan\u2019s Kumano Kodo is a 1300-year-old network of sacred pilgrimage routes through remote mountains and along a beautiful coastline. The Kumano Kodo\u2019s sacred sites and pilgrimage routes in the Kii Mountain Range are registered with UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The Kohechi is the second most remote and most difficult of the Kumano Kodo\u2019s routes. Although it passes through remote, sacred mountains, the Kohechi is still accessible by public transportation and one can stay in pleasant lodges every night. The Kohechi takes 4 days or less to complete. All of the Kumano Kodo\u2019s routes are extraordinary ways to travel deep into Japan\u2019s traditions and history while experiencing it\u2019s mysterious mountains and exotic\ngeography. Sky King is joined by Matt Malcomson, with whom he hiked the route.
