Visited in April 2023 *Kumano Hayatama Taisha Located at the mouth of the Kumano River, the shrine grounds are home to a large "Nagi tree" that is a sacred natural monument. ✨ The current shrine building was burned down in September 1883 and rebuilt afterwards, but the World Heritage Site includes the shrine grounds, the "Kamikurayama" behind it, the "Mifunejima" floating in the Kumano River, and the "Otabisho"😊 It is said that the shrine building was built and enshrined at the current location to welcome Kumano Gongen, who descended to Gotobiki Rock at the southern end of Kamikurayama😊 Since then, it is said that this place has been called Shingu in contrast to the original shrine on Kamikurayama☺️ #Pilgrimage #Kumano Sanzan #Kumano Pilgrimage #Kumano Hayatama Taisha

Staying in Shingu for a day post Kumano Kodo trek. Walked to the Kamikura Shrine precinct and enjoyed the serene greenness of the area. The first run of stairs leading up the hillside to this shrine is the steepest and most daunting, but the views over the city are totally worth the 500+ stair climb to this pretty little shrine. Just take it slow and easy and you'll reach your reward. There's a windy dirt trail that bypasses these steep stairs and leads from a flat rest point at the midpoint of the climb down to the bottom. It looks to some folks like it might be easier to take than the stairs, but I think the many tree roots on this path actually make it more dangerous, particularly if there's been rain and the soil is slick. Our legs went straight to muscle memory and enjoyed climbing up the steep steps. Spectacular views across Shingu to the sea. A very enjoyable experience. #givethanks #givethanks

Save this post! If you had to choose the most mystical and spiritual place in Japan, ⛩it would have to be the Kumano Kodo. 📍The Kumano Kodo isn't one specific trail, but a collective term for the many pilgrimage routes between the Kumano Sanzan (Kumano Hongu Taisha/Kumano Hayatama Taisha/Kumano Nachi Taisha). . 🚩6 Traditional Hiking Routes🚩 🚏Nakahechi Route: From Tanabe to the Kumano Sanzan, this route is relatively flat and the most popular. It's the official route used by emperors and nobles since the Heian period, and passes by the ruins of a group of shrines known as the Ninety-Nine Princes. There are plenty of places to resupply along the way, and you can also choose to hike shorter sections of the main route. 🚏Ohechi Route: From Kii-Tanabe to Nachikatsuura, this route follows the coastline and offers beautiful scenery. 🚏Kohechi Route: From Mount Koya to Kumano Hongu Taisha, this 70km route crosses three high mountains and is very challenging. 🚏Iseji Route: From Ise Grand Shrine to the Kumano Sanzan, this route is 170km long. 🚏Kii Route: From Osaka to Tanabe, this route doesn't reach the Kumano Sanzan and is rarely hiked. 🚏Omine Okugakemichi Route: From Yoshino to Kumano Hongu Taisha, this 170km route is the most difficult and is only suitable for experienced hikers. . 🚩Recommended Routes for Beginners🚩 Completing any of the above routes takes at least 4–5 days, which can be difficult for most people. So, here are a few shorter routes that capture the essence of the Kumano Kodo. 📍These are generally half-day trips, suitable for those who prefer a lighter hike: 📍Hosshinmon-oji - Kumano Hongu Taisha ✅This section is about 7km long and takes 2–3 hours to hike. It's the most scenic part of the Nakahechi Route. ✅The path is flat and winds through beautiful mountain scenery, making it a classic route for beginners. It's also one of the routes that qualifies for pilgrim certification. . 📍Koyanasaka - Shingu Sannomiya ✅This route is about 7km long and takes about 2–3 hours. ✅Starting from Kumano Hayatama Taisha near Shingu Station, it passes by Kamikura Jinja and Asuka Jinja, following the coastline to Koyanasaka. Hike along to the sound of the waves and see black sand beaches similar to those in Iceland. . 📍Daimonzaka - Kumano Nachi Taisha - Nachi Falls ✅This route is only 1km long, but it's entirely made up of moss-covered stone steps, making it quite tiring. It takes at least an hour to walk. ✅At the entrance to Daimonzaka are the famous Meoto Sugi (Husband and Wife Cedar Trees). The towering ancient trees along the way make you feel like you've traveled back to the Heian period. You can even rent Heian period costumes for photos.

Train to Shingu, Wakayama🐼🚉

#springsummergoodplace2024 #wakayamaramen #wakayamastyle #shingufood Located in Shingu, this is the most highly rated ramen shop in the area. It was inspired by the famous Ide Ramen Shop and has a unique flavor based on soy sauce. However, the taste is very Japanese ramen, and the soy sauce flavor is quite prominent, so the taste is very strong. The noodles and meat are very tasty, the croquettes are also very good, and fried rice is a must-order for many people. Japanese fried rice is a little wetter than Chinese fried rice. Some people also order fried dumplings, which are all very good and not too expensive. There are also some combo discounts during lunch. #Hayashi Ramen #Chinese Ramen #Soy Sauce Ramen #Must-eat in Wakayama #Customized birth weight bear in the same painting world #Wedding thank-you gift #Birthday gift #Newborn commemorative gift #Equal weight hand sewing in grams #Prepare for wedding #Weight bear #Customization #Filial piety

Shingu Port to go to Ainoshima Island, also known as Cat Island. The weather was so nice that I didn't want to go home.

It's far from Ise-Shima, so it's best to go by car. You can have a mystical experience in the middle of nature.

Shinmiya City, Wakayama Prefecture, a place that few Hong Kong people know, another comfortable place, inside is a small Japanese town, there is a very comfortable cafe, inside selling good toast and coffee, nearby there is also a place called Katsura, there is a very large fishing port, many Japanese come here Accessible by JR from Nagoya/Osaka, about four hours, it is recommended to visit with Wakayama/Ise Coffee shop: Cafe Danfor #OsakaFreeTravel #Nagoya #foodie

An amazing shrine (jinja) I definitely recommend visiting it. The air was fresh and the shrine was absolutely beautiful. As I walked further, I found a magnificent tree with ropes wrapped around it. This tree resembles a cedar tree and is over 1,000 years old. It has been designated as a national natural monument. It is said to have been planted by Taira Shigemori of the Taira clan at the end of the Heian period. I recommend going in autumn.

Address: 975-3 Sano, Shingu City, Wakayama Prefecture Atmosphere/Facilities: This is a restaurant where you buy tickets in advance from the ticket machine and then order✨ Recommended points: The soup contains carefully selected sesame seeds, which make the soup mellow, and if you add the chili peppers served on the table, it becomes dandan noodles, so you can enjoy the ramen twice✨ The char siu is also soft and melts in your mouth, so I recommend it✨ Average price: ~999 yen Budget per person: 1,000 yen Rating: Overall rating ⭐4.0 #gw2022jp #gourmet #gourmet trip
