Travel on the sacred Kumano Kodo, or Kumano
Ancient Trail, a famous pilgrimage route to Kumano.
Enjoy a beautifully varied hike throughout the
mountainous range that lies south of Osaka, Nara,
and Kyoto. Spend four days on the well-preserved trail
while traveling through deep valleys, mountains, and
small villages. During your journey, rest at comfortable
family-run inns, enjoy the local food, soak in natural
hot springs, and visit various shrines. On your trek,
visit three great Kumano Shrines – Kumano Hongu
Taisha, Kumano Nachi Taisha, and Hayatama Taisha.
Let your English-speaking guide walk you through this
ancient trail.
Begin your journey in the city of Kyoto, where you will
take the train south along the coast and spend four
days hiking the Nakahechi Trail, also a UNESCO
World Heritage site. Take a day mid-way through your
journey to relax with a pleasant ride along the Kumano
River to Hayatama Taisha Shrine. Afterwards, we will
cross the Kii Peninsula on foot heading towards the
eastern fishing town, Katsuura. With a two-night stay
at a hot-spring hotel along with an extra optional day
of hiking, you will be able to relax and rejuvinate.
Travel back to Kyoto by train to complete your journey.
Relax and let All Japan Tours take care of the details
along with your luggage transfers, breakfasts, and
dinners.
