Kumano Kodo
Kumano Kodo is a historic pilgrimage route that runs through the deep mountainous natural scenery of the Kii Peninsula and leads to Kumanosanzan (three shrines in Kumano).This is a path of faith that was traveled by aristocrats and commoners alike during the Heian period, and even today its moss-covered cobblestones and cedar groves remain, giving you a sense of prayer and awe towards nature every time you walk along it.In the silence where only the sounds of the birds and the wind echo, you will feel as if your mind and body are in harmony.It is also registered as a World Heritage Site, and is a path that brings timeless healing and awareness to all who visit.

Nachi Waterfall
Nachi Waterfall is the most famous waterfall in Japan, with a drop of 133 meters, and has long been revered as a symbol of Kumano faith.The sight of it flowing in a single stream from the steep rock face is truly breathtaking, a mystical sight where the power and beauty of nature coexist.Mist hangs over the area around the basin of the waterfall, and the feeling of being surrounded by negative ions is one of the attractions.When you reach the end of the approach to the shrine, you will be greeted by a special feeling of calm in your mind as you are greeted by its majestic appearance.

Nachi Taisha
