Book a rest day (or ryokan night) halfway through your trip

Travellers in a 70+ comment thread agree: by day 4–10 the walking wipes you out. Put a lazy day or a meals-included ryokan/onsen night in the middle of the trip; it kills decision fatigue and rescues the second half.

Check first: Planning advice from many commenters; one notes ryokan are cheaper on weekdays.
