    Wakayama Pref. Tanabeshi Nakahechichoukurisugawa 1226
    Located at a spot where the Tonda River and Ishiburi River meet, this course leads to the holy “Kumano Sanzan” shrines. The “Uwadawa Chaya Ato” site is about 600 meters above ground at the end of a steep path. This shrine is one of the “Gotai Oji,” which are the most distinguished of the “Kyujukyu Oji” (99 Grand Shrines).

    Wakayama prefecture Tanabe-shi Imonomiya
    This historic site is located at the junction of the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route's Nakahechi Trail and the Kohechi Trail (Hatenashi Trail) that connects Koyasan to Kumano. Three tea houses once stood there, and today the new building acts as a rest stop along the way. A stone signpost from the Edo period stands right nearby. It provides directions for those coming from Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine, and is carved with expressions used in Japan's feudal era. There's evidence it also used to be a barrier station. It's now being restored, modeled after the gate at the Kukigakuchi Checkpoint.

    中辺路と、高野山と熊野を結ぶ熊野古道小辺路の分岐点にあり、名のとおりかつて三軒の茶屋があって賑わっていたという。 現在は休憩所が整備されていて、トイレもある。 「右かうや十九り半 左きみい寺三十一り半」と刻んだ振り分け石の道標が立っているが、写真のように、劣化していて、分かっていないと、そうは読めないです。 かつては九鬼ヶ口という関所でもあった。 そして、行き交う者は10文を払って、通行手形を受け...

  • Oyunohara

    Wakayama Pref. Tanabeshi Honguchouhongu
    "Oyunohara is a historic location that was the original site of the Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine in Hongu Town, Wakayama Prefecture. The shrine was situated on a sandbank at the confluence of the Kumano River, the Otonashi River and the Iwada River. In Japan, Torii gateways are used to mark the boundary between sacred areas and the mundane world; Oyunohara is notable for its huge Torii gate, which is 34m high (roughly the height of an 11-story building). This area is linked to the story of the Yatagarasu, a raven that guided Emperor Jimmu when he was lost in the mountains of Kumano, and Yata Fire Festival is held here every year in August. Oyunohara's connection with a mystical event in which humans were guided towards happiness attracts many visitors to this ""power spot"" (a place that is believed to bestow power on the visitor)."

    Wakayama Pref. Tanabeshi Honguchoufushiogami
    "This historic site is along the Nakahechi Trail, part of the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route. The name is said to come from pilgrims walking the trail via Hosshinmon-Oji and Mizunomi-Oji. When they arrived at Fushiogami-Oji, Kumano Hongu Taisha Grand Shrine finally came into view, and the pilgrims would fall down in reverence. Today you can see Oyunohara at the spot where Kumano Hongu Taisha Grand Shrine once stood. There is a small shrine at Fuhiogami-Oji, as well as a memorial to the Heian Period (794–1185) poet Shikibu Izumi who stopped there to pray. Another must-see is the nearby house and tea field used as a shooting location for the NHK drama ""Honmamon."" "

    山里の茶畑を見ながら進み、草原を抜けると有人の茶屋があります。 茶屋前の石段を上がると伏拝王子です。 昔はここから本宮大社が見え、巡礼者が喜んで拝んだことから名付けられたそうです。 場所が変わったので、現在、大社は見えませんが、熊野の山が連なる景色がすばらしいです。 和泉式部の供養塔？があり、言い伝えから熊野権現は身分も性別も分け隔てなく受け入れる、大らかな神様だと分かります。 お茶屋では...

    Wakayama Pref. Tanabeshi Nakahechichouchikatsuyu Kitano 906-1
    This is a section of the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route and is one of the “99 Grand Shrines.” There are records of retired Emperor Gotoba holding tanka poetry gatherings here, and there is a “prince monument” that was built in 1934.

  • Gyuba-doji Statue
    Travel / Tourism
    Wakayama prefecture Tanabe-shi Naka-ebokicho Tsugawa River 2430-39
    Standing quietly at the Hashiori Pass is the approximately 50 centimeter tall Gyuba-doji Statue. Gyuba-doji literally means “ox, horse, child” and as the name suggests, the statue of the small figure straddling the ox and horse is pretty and symbolic of Nakahechi (one of the Kumano-kodo, old pilgrimage routes). Not surprisingly it is a popular place for photographs.

    Wakayama Pref. Tanabeshi Honguchouyunomine
    "Yunomine Oji is one of the ninety-nine oji (princes) enshrined as the Son of Kumano no Kami (deity), and is part of the World Heritage Site ""Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountains"". It is located about five minutes up a mountain road from Yunomine Onsen ""Tsuboyu"". It is also mentioned in the legend of the Hangan Oguri, who is said to have recovered from a serious illness thanks to the blessings of a Kumano pilgrimage and the medicinal properties of the Yunomine Onsen."

    Wakayama Tanabe-shi Kamiyashiki 3-7
    "This is located about a five-minute drive from the Nanki Tanabe Interchange on the Hanwa Expressway via National Route 42. It is the remains of the sluice gate for Tanabe Castle, which was also referred as Kinsuijo, or ""Brocade Water Castle."" It was built during the Edo Period (1615-1867) by Ando Naotsugu, the lord of the Tanabe fief, a so-called ""flat castle"" without any towers or other tall structures, surrounded by an inner and outer moat. The sluice gate is near the mouth of the Aizugawa River, and in former times, it was used as the entrance and exit to the river, but all that is left today are stone fences. The surroundings are set aside as a park, which has become a recreation area for city residents."

    Wakayama Arida-gun Hirogawacho Hiro 1267
    This breakwater has been designated a National Historic Site. After the 1854 Nankai Earthquake, local Goryo Hamaguchi paid out of his own pocket to build it. Some 600-meter-long, five-meter high, and around 20 meter-width at the base, the oceanside breakwater is part of a system of multiple tsunami defenses. To build it, Goryo paid a 56,736 villagers daily wages which in total came to 1,572 ryo coins, preventing the dispersal of the disaster-stricken villagers after the tsunami generated by the earthquake devastated the area. Visitors who apply at the Inamura no Hi no Yakata can receive a guided tour of the breakwater along with the Taikyu-sha academy founded by Goryo and a statue depicting Goryo.

    Wakayama Pref. Tanabeshi Minato 655 Compete Kei shrine

    地図を見ると駅から少し離れていると思ったのですが、実際に訪れると徒歩で数分の場所でした。週末の昼下がりに参拝したところ境内は静かで、観光客や地元の参拝者も僅かでした。

    Wakayama Tanabe-shi Hongucho Mikoshi

    発心門王子から山里を30分ほど歩くと着きます。その名の通り、昔は水呑場であったそうです。 小学校跡地で休憩所もありますが、椅子もテーブルも隅に片付けられてて休めそうではなかったです。 学校前の道から続く狭い林道に進み、ここから山道となります。
