That's something I was starting to think about. My hike is on an Island Yakushima at the very start of my trip. I'll add that the island is amazing I have been there before but did not get to hike much of the trails or travel around the whole island. I guess I could take an old pair of runners, and toss them out when I leave, and take clipless MTB shoes the rest off the way, and just take the cleats off when I want to walk around seeing the sight for the rest of the trip.
