Sorry about the weather, but it sounds like quite an adventure. Thanks for posting!

Great trip report and really useful resource. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for your fantastic trip report, leslieq. As a result, we're staying at Tenseian Kiyomizu in Kyoto and are also considering a stay in Tsumago, so will check out Fujioto Ryokan, although I'm a little worried about my husband and his hiking abilities.

I truly appreciate the effort you went through in order to provide such valuable information.

fantastic report!!

internetwiz...how awesome that you are staying at the Kiyomizu apartment!! Please give Haraguchi-san our greetings and let him know that you read about the apartment in my trip report. He was such a great host, really went out of his way. I hope you will let me know how things went.

How far can your husband normally hike? Doing it the way we did was a lot easier than starting from Magome. My hubby has a sort of bad knee and we did it in the rain.

You can write me at [email protected] if you would like more details...

Have fun!
