The new Trail & Train website offers a lot of useful information about the trail as well as a luggage delivery plan, local guide services, and more:
en.sanriku-trail.com
Unfortunately, the official government site (tohoku.env.go.jp/mct/english/) recently pulled all the free PDF maps they were offering for download. Now you have to pay for them, unfortunately. Still, it is better to get paper maps for the section that you're interested in hiking, so worth ordering in advance. You can order maps here: m-tc.org/en/explore/map
There's also a great free informational site/community by a half British, half Japanese man named Robin. He hiked the entire trail in 2022 and has gathered tons of great resources on his site: michinokutrail.com
Past videos I've done that relate to the trail, kayaking, and boat rides off that coast:

I'm a full-time guide, mostly up in Tohoku (northeast Japan) but I also guide groups up Mt. Fuji in the pre and post season as well as lead normal tours in places like Kyoto, Nara, and Tokyo when contracted.
