『にっぽん丸』のショアエクスカーションのツアーで、新宮港からチャターされた観光バスに乗車し『発心門王子跡』観光、『熊野本宮大社』参拝を前にトイレ休憩として立ち寄りました。酸味と苦味が非常に強い柑橘類の『じゃばら』を利活用した商品も沢山陳列されています。駐車スペースは大型バスが4-5台停まっても普通車を停めるスペースは十分にありました。残念ながら休憩処で食事する機会はありませんでした。

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。

- Wakayama Tanabe-shi Hongucho Kawayu
- A hot spring area famous for the Sennin Buro, a natural outdoor hot spring bath only open from December to February. Piping hot 70° C water wells forth endlessly from a sodium-hydrogen carbonate, chloride spring under the bed of the Oto River, a tributary of the Kumano River, mixing with the river water to reach just the right temperature. Visitors can also dig into the gravel to create their very own outdoor hot spring bath. Anyone can bathe in the waters but those not staying at a hotel or inn in the area should bring their own shovel. Swimsuits are required. A public bathhouse is also located nearby. The area’s hot spring waters can also be drunk, and doing so is said to treat such ailments as gastrointestinal disorders, diabetes, and gout, while bathing in them is said to also alleviate diabetes as well as nerve pain.

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.
