Planning a trip for this December/January and I want to do 5 or so days on either the Nakasendo or Kumano Kodo trail. I don't need a guide, and I speak (a bit of) Japanese because I lived there many years ago for work. Is one of these trails preferable to the other in winter? I am a pretty good walker and can do 15-20km a day as long as it isn't too hot out (not an issue in winter) or too steep (not an issue on these trails, it seems).
Any advice would be appreciated!
