In the interior of Honshu Island, connecting the green forests of the Kii Mountains, an ancient path paved with mossy stone steps encircles the three mountains of Kumano, and has been a spiritual pilgrimage route for ancient people since the Heian Period. With historical monuments and steles and nature's gifts of hot springs and waterfalls, the ancient path is intertwined and leads to various important Buddhist shrines, forming a unique network of pilgrimage routes covering the southern area of the Kii Peninsula and southern Osaka. The scenery along the way is picturesque with green hills and green water. This tour is recommended for those who are traveling to Kansai for the first time and wish to have the opportunity to explore Kumano on an in-depth hike, but also want to reserve a little time to wander freely in Kyoto. A single vacation that meets your needs in more ways than one!
