Is it physically possible to complete the pilgrimage in 2 weeks? I'm now having doubts, having read through more accounts and meeting up with an experienced Henro san in Shibuya last week. Its going to be Golden Week, the busiest time for bus loads of henro. Even if it takes a minimum 10 mins to get the nokyocho signed with calligraphy and stamped, thats still going to be 880 min or 14hrs 40min, even if I find the temples on time!
I think the mileage is doable, but delays locating temples, climbing up to them and general faff, its going to be a tough challenge to complete in 14 days.

You are going to need a good map, Andy-san. Would you like to borrow my GPS?
