Kumano Sanzan's Okunoin

#aprilblooms A sacred place of Shugendo located directly below the top of Mt. Tamaki at an altitude of 1076 metres. At the time of Emperor Jinmu's eastern expedition, it is said that he rested his soldiers in this place and prayed for good luck, and he has gathered faith as the inner temple of Kumano Sanzan. It is registered as a constituent asset of the World Heritage Site "Sacred Sites and Visiting Roads in the Kii Mountains" and the historical site "Omine Okukado". Although you can go by car, you need to be careful when driving because there is a narrow mountain road with ninety-nine folds. It is not uncommon for snow to accumulate in winter. In addition, there are many days when thick fog occurs, and the precincts are surrounded by a fantastic atmosphere.
