The Kumano Kodo is one of only two UNESCO World Heritage pilgrimage routes in the world. For over 1,000 years, emperors, monks, Shinto devotees and everyday travellers have followed these ancient trails seeking renewal and connection.

On the Nakahechi route, you’ll journey through cedar forests, mountain villages, and sacred shrines that feel timeless. This is more than a hike. It is a pilgrimage that combines adventure, reflection, and cultural immersion
