    Wakayama Tanabe-shi Hongucho Hongu 228-1
    This is a large souvenir shop located next to Kumano Hongu Shrine. It stocks things such as pickled plums, products made from unique local citrus fruits, Kisei plum wine, local sake, and other souvenirs of the Kumano area. Light meals are available inside, and since the interior is large, visitors can take their time looking over the merchandise. The shop is equipped with a parking lot that accommodates eight buses and 60 cars, and walking a bit from the parking lot and going up the stairs brings one to Kumano Hongu Shrine.

    熊野本宮大社のお参り後に訪れました。迷ったあげく、レモンシャーベットを頂きましたが、みかんアイスバーにすれば良かったです。

    Wakayama Tanabe-shi Hongucho Hongu 471-1
    This is a grocer's shop located a ten-minute walk from Kumano Hongu Shrine. It specializes in Kumano beef, Wakayama's specialty Wagyu and offers whichever cuts of meats most suitable for the dish such as steak, sukiyaki, shabushabu (do-it-yourself beef stew), or yakiniku (grilled meat),. The finest meat for barbecuing comes highly recommended due to its perfect balance between red meat and marbling. The products it handles include vegetables and fish, so the shop attracts a wide variety of customers, from local residents to tourists visiting the Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage Route. English-speaking employees can easily accept foreign visitors.

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. Once the grueling hike is complete, make a beeline for Wakayama city to savor some of the country’s most delicious ramen noodles.
