Hidden Japan in Early Summer | Kumano Kodo & Nachi — A Slow Walk on the Sacred Pilgrimage

A slow travel guide to hidden Japan in early summer — Kumano Kodo & Nachi, Wakayama, along a 1000-year UNESCO pilgrimage through the Kii Peninsula.

A slow walk up the moss-covered cedar steps of Daimonzaka,
into the heart of the Kumano pilgrimage —
where Japan's tallest waterfall meets a vermilion pagoda.

Two unhurried days in Wakayama, walking 1000 years of sacred history —
from the Pacific harbor town of Nachi-Katsuura, along Japan's Camino,
to the gods of Kumano Nachi Taisha.
