After much fussing and fiddling, I've finally come up with a schedule for my Tokaido walk which I'm happy with. Two nights in Kyoto, followed by 25 days on the road (including two rest days), then two nights in Tokyo. I'll walk an average of just over 21km a day. The most distance I'll cover in a single day will be 28.6km, the least 12.1km. The route will take me over three main passes, although the highest of these (Hakone Pass) is only 846m, around half the height of the most difficult pass on the Nakasendo (which we conquered on Day 15 of the Nakasendo walk).
The main difference between what you see below and the original schedule I put together last year is the direction. I'd initially intended to start in Tokyo, mainly because we started in Kyoto when we walked the Nakasendo and I wanted to try walking in the opposite direction this time. But when I went to book my flights I found that it was going to be a lot more convenient to fly into Kansai airport (the closest international airport to Kyoto) and out of Narita (the closest to Tokyo) than the other way around. So Day 1 will be a repeat of Day 1 of the Nakasendo walk.
The next step is to book my accommodation. I guess I'd better start training, too.
