In december 2014 Jan Peter Margry (University of Amsterdam & Meertens Institute) presented his research on the little camino, the Camino Finisterre, at the Camino Academy (pilgrim/science forum) in The Netherlands. In passing he mentioned other places that try to mimic the camino experience.
Have a look at these US and Korean examples...

The Wonhyo Trail

To honor Wonhyo a trail is in preparation, a trail connecting Gyeongju on the North Gyeongsang Province, to Wonhyo’s cave near Pyeongtaek in the Gyeonggi Province.
