The Kumano Kodo is more than a walk – it’s a spiritual journey through Japan’s ancient heartland. Follow in the footsteps of emperors and pilgrims along moss-covered forest trails, past remote mountain villages, serene shrines, and cascading waterfalls. With every step, you’ll experience a deep sense of connection – to nature, to history, and to yourself.
