Wakayama Ito-gun Koyacho Koyasan

"This temple approach is located in Koyasan, Koya Town, Ito County. This is the road used by female worshipers to visit Mt. Koya, which was off-limits to women until 1872. It is said that women would go around the mountain in order to visit and pay their respects at the mausoleum of the Buddhist monk Kukai following the women-only halls called Nyonindo. The road is one of the components of the ""Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range"" UNESCO World Heritage Site."

Wakayama Hidaka-gun Hidakacho Haradani

"A 15-minute drive from JR Kii-Uchihara Station. This stone-paved path goes through Shishigase Pass 4.1 kilometers away from the Iseki bus stop. One of many stone-paved paths created as part of the various ancient Kumano Kodo pilgrimage routes, it is 503 meters long, making it the longest still in existence. Also designated a Historic Site by Hidakagawa Town, the area around the pass happens to be a border between surrounding municipalities. The historically important path is mentioned in the ancient ""Taiheki"" and ""Genpei Josuki"" historical epics, and those walking it can view historic sites such as the ruins of a mountain castle along its length and imagine what the area looked like in the distant past."

Wakayama prefecture unites pilgrims, food lovers, and culture buffs in a tranquil corner of Japan at the base of the Kii Peninsula. The setting for many a Kumano Kodo pilgrimage trail, Wakayama invites those in search of spirituality from one side of the prefecture to the other, from the 100-plus Buddhist temples of the sacred Mount Koya in the west to the inspiring temples of the Kumano Sanzan set among breathtaking nature in the east.
