I recollect reading about a multi-day hike through some mountains in Japan. Part of my brain claims it was through the Minami Alps. The thing about the hike was that it was multi-day, and you basically hiked from "hiker hostel" to "hiker hostel." Anybody know much about this?

I seem to remember this from one of the blog posts. It has some religious meaning behind it I think. If its what Im thinking of your walk, or hike, from temple to temple. I also remember them saying it could take a while depending on how many of the temples you wanted to see. All the temples could take a couple weeks if I remember correctly.

Sounds like the Appalachian trail to me, though there if you're smart you camp somewhere other than the hostels/designated sites, unless you like rats chewing on you and bugs in your sleeping bag.

Bit vague like but it could be a hiking trail through Kirishima in Kagoshima prefecture.

If it's in Kyushu it's likely to be there or maybe Oita prefecture.

rats and bugs in the sleeping bags, yeah, I guess we'll bring a tent.

It was north of Shizuoka, maybe Yamanashi? I'll check out hiking in Kagoshima though, thanks!
