The Kumano Trail hike experience is unique and memorable. This trail is picturesque and the natural landscape is varied. During the hike, I felt the tranquility and magnificence of nature. At the same time, the facilities of this ancient road are quite well maintained, the signs are clear and provide great convenience for hikers. In addition, the local service and dining are quite good, the food is fresh and delicious. Overall, Kumano Kooji is a hiking route that integrates natural beauty and comfort, and is recommended for all those who love outdoor activities.
The Kumano Ancient Road was built for nobles to visit the Kumano Shrine in ancient times, and later became the road for practitioners to Ise Shrine. The whole ancient road is divided into 15 sections, which can be used for physical strength and time, but no matter which section you go, the scenery is equally charming. You can also visit the local hot springs and the stacked, orderly rice fields. Check in the Kumano Honya section of Kumano Ancient Road
