Getting Around Kumano Kodo
-
- The Kumano Kodo on the Kii Peninsula in western Japan is one of only two UNESCO registered world heritage pilgrimage routes in the world. Situated mostly deep in the mountains of Wakayama, Nara and Mie prefectures, the various ancient routes of the Kumano Kodo connect the sacred three Grand Shrines of Kumano and have been traveled by the devout and those seeking enlightenment for hundreds of years. Most of the routes are multi-day walks through stunningly beautiful and remote landscapes with walkers staying at ryokans and minshuku along the way, and these days the Kumano Kodo is increasingly popular with foreign visitors. In recent years the local government has put a lot of work into making the Kumano Kodo an attractive option for people who want to see Japan’s natural, spiritual and more off-the-beaten-track places, and so there is plenty of English signage and good transport links throughout the region. The most popular route of the Kumano Kodo is the Nakahechi which runs from the small coastal town of Tanabe and finishes deep in the mountains at Kumano Hongu Taisha, one of the three Grand Shrine. As the Kii Peninsula is located between the large cities of Osaka and Nagoya (both of which have international airports and shinkansen links) getting to the Kumano Kodo is surprisingly easy, especially considering the region’s traditionally wild and remote reputation. JR West and JR East run the train lines which loop around the peninsula, while the Nankai Line runs inland from Osaka to the sacred mountain retreat of Koyasan, which is also the start of the challenging Kohechi(小辺路) route.The popular Nakahechi(中辺路) route begins (or ends) at Kii-Tanabe Station on the JR Kisei Main Line which hugs the coast on the western side of the Kii Peninsula, with Kuroshio express trains from Osaka arriving in about two hours.On the eastern side of the peninsula, convenient stations for the Kumano Kodo include Kii-Katsuura and Shingu on the JR Kisei Main Line, with regular trains heading to and from Nagoya in around 3 and a half hours. The Kumano Kodo is also served by a network of buses which serve both visitors and locals alike. Public buses run from the main hubs of Kii-Tanabe Station, Shingu and the popular beach/hot spring resort of Shirahama to many of the small villages located in the mountains and along the various pilgrim routes. The tourist information centers at Tanabe and Katsuura can give you detailed bus timetables in English. It is well worth considering a transportation pass if you plan to use the trains and buses to get around the Kumano Kodo. The JR West Kansai Wide Area Pass is a 9,000 yen, four-day pass for unlimited use of the ‘Sanyo Shinkansen’ bullet train, plus express and local trains on the JR West network (which runs as far east as Shingu); the Ise-Kumano-Wakayama Area Tourist Pass is a five-day pass covering most buses and trains across the Kii Peninsula, check online for further details. For those who prefer to explore at their own pace and on four wheels, renting a car is a good option. Many of the main sights on the Kumano Kodo have good access by road, often with parking nearby. Some of the most popular car rental companies in Japan are Toyota, Hertz, Times Car Rental and Orix. Drivers looking to rent a car in Japan must be over 18 years old and should apply for an International Driving Permit from their country of residence in advance. Taxis are another option for reaching out-of-the-way places; there will usually be taxis waiting outside major train stations, and hotels and ryokans can help you book them too. Taxis in Japan are very safe and reliable, but can be quite expensive. It also helps to have your destination written down on something to show to the driver, as not all of them can speak English. Finally, walking around the Kumano Kodo is the most traditional way to see the region, and the reason many people come here in the first place. The most popular pilgrim routes are well signposted, and free maps and itineraries are available from tourist information centers. Regardless of season, bring waterproof clothing and comfortable sturdy footwear for hiking, and enjoy the history and nature in one of Japan’s most spiritual and beautiful regions. ©NAVITIME JAPAN.

Kumano Kodo Overview
-
- Kumano Kodo refers to a network of trails that have been used for over 1,000 years by people from all walks of life. The trails extend through the Wakayama, Nara, Mie, and Osaka prefectures. Some of the trails have been lost over time, due to urban expansion, but many of the trails are still intact and open to visitors. These trails are registered as a UNESCO World Heritage sight, one of only two pilgrimages in the world to receive the honor.The trails are part of a religious pilgrimage related to the Shinto religion, but over time, many Buddhist elements were introduced as well. This area appealed to many people in the aristocracy and emperors, samurai, and other nobles would often make the trek from Kyoto to walk the trails as a symbol of religious devotion. It is said that the spirits of the dead would gather, so many believed this area to be spiritually significant.All the trails of the Kumano Kodo lead to one of the Three Grand Shrines of Kumamoto. There are many different trails visitors can take, but there are traditionally three main routes that connect to the shrines. Along the paths, there are around 100 smaller shrines, called “Oji,” for visitors to pray at during their journey.The Iseji Trail connects the Iseji Shrine in Mie Prefecture to the Hayatama-taisha Shrine in Wakayama Prefecture. The trail splits in the southern part and gives travelers an option of going toward Hayatama-taisha Shrine or Hongu-taisha Shrine. The full Iseji Trail is quite long, at 170 kilometers, so visitors can choose to visit the highlights of the trail if they don’t have time to complete the entire journey during their vacation. For example, the Magose-toge Pass is particularly popular due to its beautiful Cypress trees and stone paths. This section of the trail is only 7 kilometers long, so it’s perfect for an afternoon outing.Another popular route is the Nakahechi Route that starts from Tanabe and continues to the eastern part of the peninsula. This path visits the central Hongu-taisha Shrine and then splits into paths to the two other Grand Shrines. As with the Iseji Trail, the Nakahechi Route can be enjoyed over a period of several days or visitors can opt to take shorter hikes.As mentioned previously, there are several main paths with multiple routes, so visitors should makes plans based on what they’re most interested in. The Ohechi Route runs along the coast and offers great views of the ocean, while the Iseji Route cuts through forests and mountains. The paths range from those suitable for beginners to more difficult paths only recommended to seasoned hikers, so it’s best for would-be hikers to do some research in advance before setting out on their journeys. ©NAVITIME JAPAN.

Koyasan Overview
-
- In the early-9th century a pious Buddhist named Kukai—posthumously given the title Kobo Daishi—returned from a trip to China carrying wisdom that had passed to the temples and monasteries around the Tang Dynasty capital, Chang’an. Imperial decree granted him Koyasan, located in the mountains of Wakayama Prefecture. This is admittedly an oversimple comparison, placing side by side two very different traditions, but Koyasan can perhaps be thought of as being to Kobo Daishi’s Shingon Buddhism what Vatican City is to Catholicism: sacred sites of worship, relics of the holy men of the tradition, stunning architecture, and administrative offices. Its stunning setting, nestled in a high mountain valley, gives the place an otherworldly atmosphere.Over the millennia since its founding, Koyasan welcomed millions of pilgrims. The ancient trails that the pilgrims used still see traffic, although modern trails offer a less challenging climb. A wide variety of trails exist, some part of a network of routes that form the Kumano Kodo trails. The majority of visitors, though, choose to ride the cable car from Gokurakubashi Station. The cost is 390 yen and the trip up the mountain takes about five minutes.The temple complex at Koyasan is anchored by Kongobuji Head Temple. The temple’s stunning interior is partially open to visitors, including a gallery of painted fusuma panels. Running alongside the temple is among the largest Zen gardens in the world. Nearby is the Danjogaran Sacred Complex and its vermillion Great Stupa. Within the stupa are portraits of Shingon Buddhism’s distinguished patriarchs, including Kobo Daishi.At the white stone Gobyobashi Bridge, pilgrims perform ablutions before crossing the threshold of the most sacred sites on the mountain: Okunoin Cemetery, which contains the early remains of the great master and those that came after him. For those trying to wrap their head around concepts like Esoteric Buddhism, the Mandala of the Two Realms, and the Mahavairocana Sutra, the Daishi Kyokai is the best place to start. There are numerous texts in English, as well as English-speaking devotees. If one is looking to accrue some merit, there is also a staff-led program where visitors can trace Buddhist sutras. For those with an interest in Shingon Buddhism or the history of the religion in early Japan—or those simply looking to experience the beautiful setting of the temple or embark on one of the hikes to the mountain valley, a visit to Koyasan is a wonderful experience.The easiest way to reach the mountain is from Osaka, where the Nankai Electric Railway's Koya Line begins its journey at Namba Station and travels south to Gokurakubashi. From Gokurakubashi Station, visitors can take the cable car on to the temple. ©NAVITIME JAPAN. Travel Info Check out our travel tips to make your trip better!

And as expected, this bountiful nature has inspired those interested in spirituality for centuries. Furobashi Bridge Furobashi Bridge This stone arch bridge has persisted since 1851 during the Edo period. These historical arch bridges are rare outside of Kyushu. Although the stone has seen many years, you feel safe crossing this bridge as if you were overcoming any and all obstacles in your life. With that in mind, this spot was a great place for a moment of reflection. We felt as if we walked in the footsteps of Edo period locals. You don’t want to miss crossing this bridge during your time in Wakaura. Takozushiyama Takozushiyama The best views are always from the top. And at 136 meters, Takozushiyama provides a perfect spot to get a comprehensive 360 degree view of Wakaura Bay.

You’ll get lost in the deep blues of the ocean letting time slide off your back like some ancient duck emerging from a pristine lake. Takozushiyama During the cherry blossom season, this observation spot is known as a great place to take in the beautiful, transient flowers. But do not fret if you aren’t in town during that time. We went there just as the cherry blossoms were starting to come in and we melted in appreciation. Shiogama Wakayama Shiogama Wakayama Whether you are praying or taking a stroll, Shiogama Shrine provides a refreshing feeling. Secluded from the hustle and bustle of the city, this stone surrounded shrine allows you to reflect in peace. Wakaura Tenmangu Shrine Wakaura Tenmangu Shrine Tengu Shrine hosts the gods that protect and oversee Wakaura Bay. This one is part of a three tenmangu shrines all around Japan. Although the stairs to the top are quite steep, there is a gentler detour nearby. In the Edo Period, this location was an important political epicenter for the local area. Porta Europa Porta Europa If you feel overdosed with traditional Japanese architecture and philosophy, jump over to Porta Europa. Their theme park is a detailed replica of ancient Europe. Complete with rollercoasters, merry-go-rounds and a ferris wheel, you’ll feel great relief after all the heavy history and nature in Wakaura. While it’s always good to go inside, sometimes you have to let go of some stress with the fast speeds and sharp turns only a theme park can provide. Today, we’ve dived into some of Wakaura’s major spots. From old temples to 360 degree views of the beautiful nature the area has to offer, you now are armed with some essential travel spots for your upcoming trip.

Wakayama Castle Wakayama Castle While many visitors to Japan long for the old-time castles and temples from long ago, sometimes the surrounding areas are more worthwhile than the actual structures. This is the case with Wakayama Castle. Wakayama Castle The castle itself is beautiful to look at, but spending time in the bountiful gardens is much more fulfilling. The locals agree as well, as you can see many taking their morning run or walk in between the trees and open spaces. Wakayama Prefectural Museum Wakayama Prefectural Museum Nearby the castle is Wakayama Prefectural Museum. Here you can taste the culture of Wakayama stretching back 30,000 years in history. The museum takes it’s responsibility of educating its visitors of Wakayama’s history seriously with an annual review of its quality. This self-reflection follows along with the worldwide known Japanese philsophy of “kaizen” or incremental improvement. You now have some options for spending your time in Wakayama. Take in the sights and enjoy the natural focus of the city. Whether it’s through the crafts or green spaces, you’ll return to your home country with a new affinity for spending time outdoors. ©NAVITIME JAPAN.

Getting Around Wakayama
-
- Getting Around Wakayama If you’re traveling to Wakayama City from Osaka, probably the fast way to get there is by booking a ticket on the Kuroshio Express train. The train runs about once every hour. It stops at Shin-Osaka Station and Tennoji Station and rides on the train are covered by the Japan Rail Pass, which you should purchase if you plan on doing a lot of train travel in Japan. The Japan Rail Pass can be purchased in advance before arriving in Japan and a one-week pass costs 29,110 yen for adults and 14,550 yen for children. Without the Japan Rail Pass, the regular price for the journey from Osaka is 2,210 yen per person and takes about an hour. Getting Around Wakayama There are six regular train lines in Wakayama Prefecture. These trains are a convenient and reliable way to get to many major destinations at an affordable price. Trains usually come once every six minutes and train travel generally starts out at around 190 yen and gradually increases the further you go. If you plan on traveling a lot in the area, the price can quickly add up, so it’s advisable to walk if it’s not too far. Getting Around Wakayama ©NAVITIME JAPAN.
