Begin your day trip with a visit to Nachi Falls, a powerful waterfall cascading down a sheer cliff surrounded by ancient forests. Feel the refreshing mist and experience the spiritual atmosphere that has attracted pilgrims for centuries.
Next, head to the Kumano Nachi Taisha Shrine, a beautiful vermilion shrine dedicated to the Kumano faith. Nestled on the mountainside, this sacred shrine offers spectacular views and a deep connection to Japanese spirituality.
Continue to Seiganto-ji Temple and capture the iconic view of the red pagoda standing beside Nachi Falls, one of Japan’s most famous photography spots. The temple reflects the unique harmony between Buddhism and Shinto traditions.
Finally, walk a section of the ancient Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route through towering cedar forests and moss-covered stone paths. This historic trail has welcomed pilgrims for over a thousand years.
