&lt;p&gt;This site only renders its contents Monday to Friday, from 08:30 until 17:30 CET/CEST. If you try to browse it any other time you face a &lt;code&gt;maintenance&lt;/code&gt; page that prevents you from reading posts like this one. Ironically, you can actually visit that page during working hours&lt;sup class="footnote"&gt;[&lt;a id="_footnoteref_1" class="footnote" href="#_footnotedef_1" title="View footnote."&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/sup&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2 id="_why" class="discrete q-banner text-right"&gt;Why? &amp;lt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class="paragraph"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why not?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="paragraph"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Actually, the idea is not mine. I got it from Kumano Travel&lt;sup class="footnote"&gt;[&lt;a id="_footnoteref_2" class="footnote" href="#_footnotedef_2" title="View footnote."&gt;2&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/sup&gt;, a local, community-managed web page to organize your trip for the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage, where the reservation request has to be done during specific hours of the day. When I did mine back in summer 2025, this time range was normal Japanese working hours, quite horrible if you are living in Europe, although now they have slightly modified the time range for the initial booking request to accommodate other time zones. I highly recommend it if you are visiting Japan and have time.&lt;/p&gt;
