Hike up to the okunoin! Only okunoin of the 88 temples to issue a stamp in your nokyochō. Because it is so worth it.

Mind boggling steep road! Your training will not be complete without it. Bonus points if you find the cave and chant in there. Can't speak for the route to the summit, that looked too much like free climbing for my taste.
