Kumano Kaidō: 2-day campervan (Nagai→Tamaru)
2 days, 1 nights ・ ≈368 km ・ 6h 24m driving (estimated)
Kumano Kaidō (172 km): 5 days on foot in the Edo period, 3 by express horse — 2 days by campervan, passing all 14 post towns. Overnight stops are only michi-no-eki and RV parks we checked for 24-hour toilets and no "no overnight parking" signs. One-way trip: confirm drop-off at another branch with the rental company first.
