Overview

Hidden within the misty mountains of Japan's Kii Peninsula, the Kumano Kōdō is more than a hiking trail - it is a 1,000-year-old sacred pilgrimage route walked by emperors, monks, and travelers in search of renewal, healing, and enlightenment. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this ancient network of trails weaves through dense cedar forests, peaceful villages, mountain passes, waterfalls, hot springs, and revered Shinto shrines known as the Kumano Sanzan. From moss-covered stone paths and tranquil temples to breathtaking viewpoints and traditional ryokan stays, the Kumano Kōdō offers a rare blend of hiking adventure, spiritual discovery, cultural immersion, and natural beauty - making it one of the world's most unforgettable walking experiences.
