Kumano Kodo toward Ise Jingu Shrine

All roads Lead to the sacred site of “Kumano Hongu”
Kumano sacred sites in the Kii mountain range is holy land
where the worship of deities began about 2,000 years ago.
Originally, the first Kumano visit was made by the Emperor Uda, then emperor Kameyama,
and following emperors and nobles in the middle Heian Period and Kamakura Period.
Then in the 17th century, the pilgrimage was renewed to Kumano, regardless of social status and class.
Many people headed into the dense forests and steepmountains of Kumano in search of salvation and
resurrection.
World Heritage “Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range”(2004)
in the Kii Mountain Range", consists of sacred sites and pilgrimage routes that are inseparable
from the majestic nature of the Kii Mountain Range, covering three prefectures of Mie, Nara,
and Wakayama as well as the cultural landscapes surrounding them.
In these days, Kumano Kodo tours seems to be involved much more walking itself in remote trails,
but we would like to express its holy, unique spiritual world with three distinct belief systems
- Buddhism, Shintoism, and mountain worship.
