I used the Tanabe Tourism Office for booking my Kumano Kodo reservations. Very helpful people with all the information you need on buses, bag transport, and more. Do stop in to see them before leaving Tanabe if you haven't made reservations ahead of time. And be sure to ask them if dinner or breakfast are included at your lodging or if there are restaurants in town. They know it all and are happy to share. They also sell a very useful Kumano Kodo guidebook (Nakahechi trail only, so far). Their office is right next to the train and bus station.

I used OkuJapan and Jack Eves to set up the trip. One important note is we started the hike a few days after a massive typhoon hit Tokyo and eastern Japan and while we were hiking a second typhoon arrived. Nevertheless, it was a spectacular hike with amazing food and accommodations. I highly recommend OkuJapan for foreigners considering this trip. We chose a trip of eleven nights and ten days on both the Nakahechi and Kohechi trails, but shorter options are available. OkuJapan rates the hikes as “Challenging”, their most difficult rating. I concur with this not because the trails are technical but when they say it will take 6 hours to complete, it will take at least that. Furthermore we hiked in October and the sun set between 5:00 and 5:30 so we had to complete the walk in the allotted time. One evening we had some issues and came in late using headlamps. Fortunately the Inn where we were staying was concerned, called OkuJapan who in turn contacted me on the trail. The owners of the Inn then drove out to meet us on the road saving us considerable time and distance in the dark. Another issue was the wet conditions we encountered following and during a typhoon. In certain areas the trail consists of cobble stones and they could be very slippery requiring much care and slow going.
