Japan is not big or small, but in rural areas, it often takes a long drive to move from one tourist attraction to another. As a driver, you need to find a place to rest along the way, get off the car and relax, so that you can have the energy to continue the journey. On the way to Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine along National Highway 311, we saw a restaurant called "Morinosato" standing alone on the riverside, so we got off the car and took a break. 📍 5-3 Otsuga, Hongu-cho, Tanabe-shi, Wakayama Prefecture 🍽 Japanese set meals and udon, etc. 🛖 Decorated as a cozy log cabin, there are also children's play facilities inside, and some small items and sundries for purchase are arranged, creating a fun atmosphere. The dining area has large windows, so you can enjoy your meal while looking out at the scenery. I ordered a grilled bear and bison set meal and a cheeseburger set meal. The salad, appetizer, white rice, soup and main course were all super delicious. The fatty Bear Bison is soft and not tough, while the cheese beef burger is full of gravy and topped with cheese, making every bite very satisfying. Coupled with the good atmosphere and the picturesque scenery, I felt relaxed and leisurely. #seetheearthinthemoment #overseastravel #japan #wakayama #countrysideseries #food #bunanouniu #selfdrivingtravelinjapan #foodie #japan #wakayama

Kumano Kodo, which spans across Wakayama Prefecture, is a historic pilgrimage route that has been walked by many worshippers since ancient times. It is registered as a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the stone-paved paths and moss-covered torii gates in the deep forest create an atmosphere that feels like a time slip to ancient Japan. The representative routes include 'Nakahechi' and 'Kohechi', offering various courses for beginners to advanced hikers. Along the way, you can visit the three grand shrines: Kumano Hongu Taisha, Kumano Nachi Taisha, and Kumano Hayatama Taisha, each offering a sense of history and mythology. Access is somewhat inconvenient, but you can take a bus from Kii-Tanabe Station or Shingu Station. There are also hot springs along the route, allowing you to relax and rejuvenate during your pilgrimage.

This was the last day of our trip to the Kii Peninsula. After breakfast and checking out, we returned to Yuasa Station. I knew there was a Yuasa Tourism Exchange Center next to the station, on the first floor of Yuasa Ekikura. To make the most of our time in Yuasa, I picked up some information there and inquired about new tourist attractions. I rented a bicycle to explore Yuasa when I first came here a few years ago. So this time, I suggested that we rent bicycles 🚲 again. My friends happily agreed. I didn't expect that there would be new changes to the bicycle rental service. Now, there is a service that allows you to rent a coffee camping ⛺️ set at the same time. After listening to the staff's introduction, we decided to use their service called "Odekakaffe Cycling" (Outing Coffee Cycling). This service includes bicycle rental, a choice of three kinds of coffee beans, a bottle of natural water, and a souvenir coffee cup. See Figure 18 for prices. It's a great deal. We rode our bicycles through the ancient streets of Yuasa, along the river, and after a pleasant ride, we arrived at Sakiwara Beach, one of the best places to view the sunset. While enjoying the sea view, we took a break and used the rented camping coffee maker to brew a cup of fragrant coffee ☕️ for each person. We all felt that this was a great travel experience and would sincerely recommend it to everyone. In addition, the old Yuasa Station has also changed. Inside, you can enjoy local specialties and desserts, and you can sit on the former platform and watch the trains come and go while drinking coffee. Yuasa Town, Arida District

Save this post! If you had to choose the most mystical and spiritual place in Japan, ⛩it would have to be the Kumano Kodo. 📍The Kumano Kodo isn't one specific trail, but a collective term for the many pilgrimage routes between the Kumano Sanzan (Kumano Hongu Taisha/Kumano Hayatama Taisha/Kumano Nachi Taisha). . 🚩6 Traditional Hiking Routes🚩 🚏Nakahechi Route: From Tanabe to the Kumano Sanzan, this route is relatively flat and the most popular. It's the official route used by emperors and nobles since the Heian period, and passes by the ruins of a group of shrines known as the Ninety-Nine Princes. There are plenty of places to resupply along the way, and you can also choose to hike shorter sections of the main route. 🚏Ohechi Route: From Kii-Tanabe to Nachikatsuura, this route follows the coastline and offers beautiful scenery. 🚏Kohechi Route: From Mount Koya to Kumano Hongu Taisha, this 70km route crosses three high mountains and is very challenging. 🚏Iseji Route: From Ise Grand Shrine to the Kumano Sanzan, this route is 170km long. 🚏Kii Route: From Osaka to Tanabe, this route doesn't reach the Kumano Sanzan and is rarely hiked. 🚏Omine Okugakemichi Route: From Yoshino to Kumano Hongu Taisha, this 170km route is the most difficult and is only suitable for experienced hikers. . 🚩Recommended Routes for Beginners🚩 Completing any of the above routes takes at least 4–5 days, which can be difficult for most people. So, here are a few shorter routes that capture the essence of the Kumano Kodo. 📍These are generally half-day trips, suitable for those who prefer a lighter hike: 📍Hosshinmon-oji - Kumano Hongu Taisha ✅This section is about 7km long and takes 2–3 hours to hike. It's the most scenic part of the Nakahechi Route. ✅The path is flat and winds through beautiful mountain scenery, making it a classic route for beginners. It's also one of the routes that qualifies for pilgrim certification. . 📍Koyanasaka - Shingu Sannomiya ✅This route is about 7km long and takes about 2–3 hours. ✅Starting from Kumano Hayatama Taisha near Shingu Station, it passes by Kamikura Jinja and Asuka Jinja, following the coastline to Koyanasaka. Hike along to the sound of the waves and see black sand beaches similar to those in Iceland. . 📍Daimonzaka - Kumano Nachi Taisha - Nachi Falls ✅This route is only 1km long, but it's entirely made up of moss-covered stone steps, making it quite tiring. It takes at least an hour to walk. ✅At the entrance to Daimonzaka are the famous Meoto Sugi (Husband and Wife Cedar Trees). The towering ancient trees along the way make you feel like you've traveled back to the Heian period. You can even rent Heian period costumes for photos.

Although the Kumano Kodo Trail is steep, it was snowing along the way. After walking through the snow, you will see spring scenery. It's like walking into a mountain and passing through four seasons. We chose to stay in Nachikatsuura that day. It is a small fishing village with the freshest tuna. The local cats are all fat. I guess the cats’ stomachs are full of baby fish😝

The three grand shrines, each with a unique geographical location, also possess distinct characteristics. Hongu Taisha, nestled in the tranquil mountains, exudes the elegance and grandeur of a refined lady. It is the most renowned of the three, requiring a 2-3 day hike along the ancient Kumano Kodo path to reach. Upon completing the entire pilgrimage, a ceremony is held, accompanied by the resounding beat of taiko drums, which we were fortunate to witness. Hayatama Taisha, situated in the small city of Shingu, embodies the charm and grace of a delicate maiden. Easily accessible by JR or bus, it offers a convenient visit. Nachi Taisha, perched atop Mount Nachi, stands as a heroic figure, radiating strength and vigor. Visitors can reach the foot of the mountain by car and then ascend the steps. Starting from Daimonzaka slope adds an extra challenge to the climb. However, this shrine boasts the most vibrant atmosphere and attracts numerous worshippers. Nearby, the breathtaking Nachi Falls and the iconic three-storied pagoda are also must-sees. The three grand shrines themselves offer limited areas for exploration, allowing for a quick tour, which might leave some visitors feeling slightly underwhelmed. Worth mentioning is the Xu Fu Park in Shingu, dedicated to the legendary figure who embarked on a quest for the elixir of immortality. Its magnificent gate makes it a worthwhile stop for a photo opportunity.

Visiting Tsurugajo Castle in winter was an unforgettable experience. Nestled in Aizuwakamatsu, the castle’s striking white walls stood in beautiful contrast to the blanket of snow covering the grounds. The crisp winter air added a refreshing charm as I approached the towering structure, its iconic red-tiled roof dusted with snow, creating a postcard-perfect scene. Inside, the museum showcased fascinating samurai artifacts and rich Aizu history, offering a glimpse into Japan’s feudal past. Climbing to the top floor rewarded me with panoramic views of the snow-covered city and distant mountains—breathtaking and serene. The surrounding grounds were equally enchanting, with snow-laden pine trees and peaceful pathways perfect for a leisurely stroll. The nearby Rinkaku Tea House offered a warm refuge where I enjoyed a traditional tea ceremony, savoring the contrast between the warmth of the tea and the chilly air outside. Tsurugajo Castle in winter is a magical blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. The serene, snowy landscape enhances its timeless charm, making it a must-visit for anyone exploring Fukushima in the colder months. #TsurugajoCastle #winter #japan #travelfreak
