This trail winds through hills, forests, and villages.<\/strong> From Takajiri Oji to Hongu, it is about 30 kilometers in length and can be completed on foot in two days. Chikatsya Oji provides a convenient overnight stop with several <em>minshuku<\/em>, or family operated bed and breakfasts. <strong>The trail ends at the shrine Hongu Taisha, with a view of the large torii gate.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Okechi_trail\">Okechi trail<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>The <em>Ohechi<\/em> is a coastal trail<\/strong>\u00a0that was in vogue from the tenth to the fifteenth century.
