    Wakayama Pref. Tanabeshi Honguchouhongu
    This Shinto shrine is one of the Three Head Kumano Shrines which serve as the headquarters of all Kumano shrines nationwide. Known as the first stop on the penance-filled Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage, since ancient times this shrine has been visited by countless worshipers of the Kumano faith, which seeks to achieve self-enlightenment through penance. The main building was erected in the Asuka period and was relocated to its current location after being damaged in the Great Flood of 1889. After climbing 158 stone steps through a cedar forest, the shrine’s four hinoki bark-thatched buildings will appear, which enshrine Ketsumiko no okami and the shrine’s three other chief gods.

    This shrine is very nice and even 3 of 5 parts are from origin (saved by the flood) , this worth it to come. You can smell the tree odor in this shrine. Roof are amazing

    Wakayama Pref. Tanabeshi Honguchoumikoshi 1652-1
    Hosshinmon Oji is one of the 99 shrines on the Kumano Sanzan pilgrimage route. Of these 99 shrines, five are considered to be the most prestigious and are called the Gotai Oji, of which Hosshinmon Oji is one. The walking path from Hosshinmon Oji to the Kumano Hongu Taisha Grand Shrine is a popular route because it has many gentle downhill slopes.

    Wakayama prefecture Tanabe-shi Imonomiya
    This historic site is located at the junction of the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route's Nakahechi Trail and the Kohechi Trail (Hatenashi Trail) that connects Koyasan to Kumano. Three tea houses once stood there, and today the new building acts as a rest stop along the way. A stone signpost from the Edo period stands right nearby. It provides directions for those coming from Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine, and is carved with expressions used in Japan's feudal era. There's evidence it also used to be a barrier station. It's now being restored, modeled after the gate at the Kukigakuchi Checkpoint.

    中辺路と、高野山と熊野を結ぶ熊野古道小辺路の分岐点にあり、名のとおりかつて三軒の茶屋があって賑わっていたという。 現在は休憩所が整備されていて、トイレもある。 「右かうや十九り半 左きみい寺三十一り半」と刻んだ振り分け石の道標が立っているが、写真のように、劣化していて、分かっていないと、そうは読めないです。 かつては九鬼ヶ口という関所でもあった。 そして、行き交う者は10文を払って、通行手形を受け...

  • Oyunohara

    Wakayama Pref. Tanabeshi Honguchouhongu
    "Oyunohara is a historic location that was the original site of the Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine in Hongu Town, Wakayama Prefecture. The shrine was situated on a sandbank at the confluence of the Kumano River, the Otonashi River and the Iwada River. In Japan, Torii gateways are used to mark the boundary between sacred areas and the mundane world; Oyunohara is notable for its huge Torii gate, which is 34m high (roughly the height of an 11-story building). This area is linked to the story of the Yatagarasu, a raven that guided Emperor Jimmu when he was lost in the mountains of Kumano, and Yata Fire Festival is held here every year in August. Oyunohara's connection with a mystical event in which humans were guided towards happiness attracts many visitors to this ""power spot"" (a place that is believed to bestow power on the visitor)."

    Wakayama Pref. Tanabeshi Honguchoufushiogami
    "This historic site is along the Nakahechi Trail, part of the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route. The name is said to come from pilgrims walking the trail via Hosshinmon-Oji and Mizunomi-Oji. When they arrived at Fushiogami-Oji, Kumano Hongu Taisha Grand Shrine finally came into view, and the pilgrims would fall down in reverence. Today you can see Oyunohara at the spot where Kumano Hongu Taisha Grand Shrine once stood. There is a small shrine at Fuhiogami-Oji, as well as a memorial to the Heian Period (794–1185) poet Shikibu Izumi who stopped there to pray. Another must-see is the nearby house and tea field used as a shooting location for the NHK drama ""Honmamon."" "

    山里の茶畑を見ながら進み、草原を抜けると有人の茶屋があります。 茶屋前の石段を上がると伏拝王子です。 昔はここから本宮大社が見え、巡礼者が喜んで拝んだことから名付けられたそうです。 場所が変わったので、現在、大社は見えませんが、熊野の山が連なる景色がすばらしいです。 和泉式部の供養塔？があり、言い伝えから熊野権現は身分も性別も分け隔てなく受け入れる、大らかな神様だと分かります。 お茶屋では...

    Tanabe, Wakayama Prefecture hongu Yunomine 113
    A Tendai Buddhist temple located in the Yunomine Onsen area. The temple’s principle object of worship, the three-meter-tall Yunomine Healing Buddha, is said to be mineral deposits from the surrounding hot spring waters which accumulated and took the shape of a Buddha. Some 1,800 years ago, it is said that the famed priest Ragyo discovered the hot spring waters welling forth from a hole in the chest of Bhaisajyaguru, the Healing Buddha. Each year, the Eight Day Festival of Bhaisajyaguru is held on January 8. During the festival, hot spring water is offered in prayer for the prosperity of Yunomine Onsen and the fulfillment of the wishes of worshipers.

    発心門王子から山里を30分ほど歩くと着きます。その名の通り、昔は水呑場であったそうです。 小学校跡地で休憩所もありますが、椅子もテーブルも隅に片付けられてて休めそうではなかったです。 学校前の道から続く狭い林道に進み、ここから山道となります。
