Japan Kumano Hiking - Family Version 5D

Duration5 Days
Difficulty 2 stars
In Kumano, Japan, an ancient path paved with mossy stone steps in the midst of greenery encircles the three mountains of Kumano, which has been a spiritual pilgrimage path for the ancients since the Heian Period. With historical monuments and steles and nature's bounty of hot springs and waterfalls, it has a unique network of pilgrimage paths intertwined with ancient paths leading to various important Buddhist shrines, covering the southern area of the Kii Peninsula and the southern part of Osaka. The scenery along the way is picturesque with green hills and green water. Hiking the path allows children to find a sense of sacred ritual in the serene mountain wilderness.
