"Kumano Kodo" is a rare World Heritage "Road," one of the few in the world, which people have continued to walk for centuries to worship at the Kumano Sanzan. Alongside the Camino de Santiago in Spain, it attracts attention from hikers and spiritual seekers worldwide as a pilgrimage path. The roads, dotted with mossy cobblestones, giant cedar groves, and historical Oji shrine remains, allow you to experience Japanese ancient nature worship and spiritual culture just by walking. There are multiple routes with different altitudes and landscapes, and it is a pilgrimage route that provides lifelong unforgettable emotion, allowing everyone from beginners to serious hikers to immerse themselves in Japan's deep mountains and history of prayer at their own pace.
