Kumano Kodo: A 3-Day Journey | 4K Japan Travel Vlog
A 3-day journey along the Kumano Kodo, visiting the sacred Kumano Sanzan.
Starting from Kii-Tanabe, we walk part of the Nakahechi route and spend the night at Yunomine Onsen.
On day two, we visit Kumano Hongu Taisha and Kumano Hayatama Taisha, then continue along the Koyazaka trail before heading to Nachikatsuura, where we enjoy local tuna.
On the final day, we make our way to Nachisan.
For centuries, Kumano has been known as a land of rebirth.
Walking these ancient pilgrimage routes, surrounded by deep nature, offers a quiet moment to reflect and reconnect.
This video is a calm and reflective travel record, capturing the emotional beauty of Kumano’s landscapes.
