  • Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage
    Leisure / Hobbies
    Tanabe, Wakayama Prefecture other
    This ancient pilgrimage route, also called the Kumano Sankeido, visits the Three Head Kumano Shrines—the Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine, Kumano Hayatama Taisha Shrine, and Kumano Nachi Taisha Shrine. Starting in ancient times, the Kumano faith grew strong throughout the centuries, and countless people of all classes, from emperors and nobles to samurai and commoners have traveled this pilgrimage route. Due to the heavy rains in the area, the route’s stone paving still remains exposed in some areas, such as Daimon-zaka. A nationally designated Historic Site, a portion is also registered a World Heritage Site as part of the Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range.

    Wakayama Tanabe-shi Hongucho Kawayu 1288
    A paid campground surrounded by abundant nature located downstream from Kawayu Onsen. Customers can choose between three areas to pitch their tent: a first-come first-served campsite area that requires no reservation, an area with lots of shade and grass that is comfortable to sleep on, and a riverbed area which can even be driven to from a nearby parking lot. The grounds are replete with a shop, toilets, grills, and food preparation facilities. There's also a farmer's market selling local vegetables which many people visit to pick up food to make while camping or to buy souvenirs to bring back home. As the campground does not rent equipment, make sure you have everything you need to go camping before you come.

    This mountain path is one of the Kumano pilgrimage trails leading to Kumano Sanzan, starting from Tanabe town, leading through the Hongu, Shingu, and Nachi shrines. From the Heian through Kamakura periods, famous for the Kumano goko (goko meaning an outing for the retired emperor, the monk emperor and imperial women) the emperor and the nobility repeatedly made this pilgrimage over 100 times. The Nakahechi path is the official pilgrimage path (the Gokodo) with many traditional remains of folklore along the way, including the Prince Takijirioji-jinja Shrine. This Nakahechi route is also considered a popular walking course, and called the golden route.
