I am studying these mountain confraternities (kō) and I would love to stay on Haguro-san next year! Do you know when the peak season is for Haguro pilgrimages?

You know I was actually planning to write this particular post about Ko. Thanks for the English term, I was just going to call it 'group pilgrimages'!

I stayed in Daishinbo on Friday night, and there were already Ko groups there. Summer is the peak season, when Gassan is open. Actually, it's kind of the only season!
