why do they scrutinize the sleeping portion and not the walking portion when it comes to tents? "Sleeping for Free" while there is no charge to walk? While accommodations are scarce , few and far between? Is there a curfew to be at a certain paid lodging by a specific time? Did you encounter wasps, mosquitoes , Bengal tigers and Bears etc. along the way. How heavy was your backpack? What would you not carry if you were to do this again? What did you regret no carrying?

Hi Benedikt, thank you for your videos! I walked the O Henro also in 2018. I loved it very much.

[@MikkelMadsen]

Thanks for the video. I am planning to do it spring next year, with my son :-)

[@kierano5496]

great stuff. bringing back the memories. I walked the henro in 2017.

[@josephinegibbs3902]

Thank you for these videos! I just discovered the henro today and am binging on info about it. I like the style of your videos and am eager to watch the rest of them.

[@nomadjoiner]

Thank you very much. I am currently working on part three, it should be finished next months.

[@SeoulMan2020]

First off, congratulations on completing this! Thank you for the informative video. I plan to do this next month. Based on your experience, would nightly lodging be hard to find (I don’t plan on bringing camping gear)? Thank you!!

[@nomadjoiner]

Thank you ! I think it should be easy to find nightly lodging. In November aren't that many henro on the trail. But i don't know how many guesthouses have closed due to corona. For more up to date information look up the Ohenro San facebook group.

@@nomadjoiner thank you so much for the fast reply! Much appreciated!

[@sarojamaryanne5167]

Thank you for your video, when is the best time to do pilgrimage.... Thanks.

[@nomadjoiner]

It depends what you want to see. I did it in October and November to see the autumn colours. In spring you can experience the cherry blossom. Every season has its benefits and disadvantages.

[@axelheyst2397]

Excellent. Your video is definitely helping me with planning for my own Henro.

[@nomadjoiner]

thank you very much, that was the main purpose of those videos.

[@Lekkertjoons]

Great videos and very useful. We're doing this in a couple of months time. Which guidebook do you recommend? Aloha from Hawaii.

[@nomadjoiner]

the official one, Shikoku Japan 88 Route Guide, which you can buy at the first temple. it has all the maps and routes. Also useful phrases and phone number of accomodations. The guide book comes in several languages and the english version is highly recommended.

[@Lekkertjoons]

Fantastic! Thanks so much.

[@MarlonDerla596]

Wow did you finish all the 88 temples?

[@nomadjoiner]

yes I did

How is the communal water washing being handled during covid?

[@SC-rh9pj]

Did you feel like walking shoes gave you enough traction on the mountain trails?

[@nomadjoiner]

Yes.

[@SC-rh9pj]

@@nomadjoiner did they also last the entire trip?

[@nomadjoiner]

@@SC-rh9pj Yes. I bought them after temple 13 when i was passing through Tokushima. I walked roughly 1200 km with them and i had no issues.

[@ryanlesacados3944]

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm preparing my Henro walk as well and this was really useful. Did you have a sleeping bag or only the tent ?

[@nomadjoiner]

I started with a quilt but switched halfway through the pilgrimage to a warmer sleeping bag.

[@CigerroGreenback]

How many pairs of shoes did you bring?

[@nomadjoiner]

I started with a pair of trail running shoes but dumped them after a couple of days and bought a pair of jogging shoes, which lasted the entire trail, Roughly 1000 km.

[@claudemontes]

Harry Potter , really. ?

[@nomadjoiner]

Of course :D
