(All photos are real shares from team members, not renderings) 🍁Located in Wakayama, the Kumano Kodo has a history of over a thousand years. It is said that in 1164, the gods descended on the Kumano region, making it a 'land where the spirits dwell'. At that time, the number of worshippers was so large that it was called 'Ant's Kumano Pilgrimage'. In 2004, the Kumano Kodo was listed as a World Heritage Site, along with the Camino de Santiago, making it one of only two World Heritage pilgrimage routes in the world, and a must-visit hiking route for outdoor enthusiasts worldwide. The Kumano Kodo has a variety of hiking routes, among which the 'Nakahechi Route' is scenic and contains all the important historical sites in the region. 💎Tour Highlights: ✅Complete the visit to the 'Three Shrines of Kumano' in one go 1️⃣Kumano Hayatama Taisha - the head shrine of over 3,000 Kumano shrines nationwide.
