Kumano Kodo Planning (Accommodation, Logistics & Luggage Delivery)

In this video, I'll help you with your Kumano Kodo planning.

I go into detail about your accommodation options, the itineraries you can use and how you can store/send your luggage using either a local luggage shuttle or the Japanese Ta Q Bin luggage delivery service. Later on in the video, I will also do a cost comparison between a Minshuku and Hostel of how much it costs to walk the Kumano Kodo.
