We guided guys from ”The African Attachment” who is making a promotion video of Salomon “trail running shoes” & Athletes ”Rickey Gates” & ”Anna Forst”.

It was a part of those in Japan, filming all over the world.
The theme was thought of Mountain worship & Trail running.

I wear my Shugendo monk costume & guided them.

Another nice day for paddling.
We got on the ocean “Nachi Bay”, it was full moon last night so we thought we could though some caves around there but we only could go through biggest one.

We got very good deal from the nature, rain, sun shine, in the mountain, at the river, at the ocean for this 3 days.

 
Hopefully they will love Kumano.
