Kumano Kodo | Day 1 | Nakahechi Route

First day of Kumano Kodo trip from Tanabe to Chikatsuyu
Come with us to see how we go on a full day hike!

UNESCO World Heritage Listed, Kumano Kodo is one of only two pilgrimage walks. We walk an ancient route that go through pristine nature, temples and shrines.

We take a bus from Tanabe to starting point at Takijiri Oji, walk to Chikatsuyu and stay at the guesthouse, 3rd Place Kumano Kodo which has one of the best Japanese meal I ever had…
