Kumano River Boat Tour - Shingu City
When visiting Shingu City, one must look into the ancient transportation of one of the most revered sites in the Wakayama Area
The Kumano River is a dominate landmark in the Kumano region running from North to South down the center of the Kii Peninsula. It served as a vital transportation link for the communities in the mountains and pilgrims past. Traditionally pilgrims travelled by boat from Kumano Hongu Taisha to Kumano Hayatama Taisha at the mouth of the river.
This sacred waterway is also considered an object of worship. Because of its spiritual aspects and use as part of the Nakahechi section of the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route, it was included as UNESCO World Heritage in the property Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountains Range.

FEELING ZEN IN SHINGU - First Day in Japan's Wakayama Prefecture
We ventured into Shingu Japan in the Wakayama Prefecture to get away from the crowds of the city and see what some Japanese peace and quiet was all about. Plenty of shrines, zen, and delicious food at the izakaya.

We are originally from the USA we left home in 2013 after graduating college. We then returned back to the US a year later to build a normal life. We quickly discovered that it wasn’t for us and left home for good in 2015. We were nomadic for over three years across six continents and 80 countries. It took us 500 blog posts, thousands of nights in different beds, a few horrible meals and a ton of amazing ones until we chose to base ourselves in the Canadian Rockies. Now we travel for half the year and explore the mountains for the other half. We are incredibly grateful for the life we live and hope we can help you meet your travel goals too!

All of the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage routes lead to Hongu, the traditional “crossroads” of the Kii Peninsula, in Wakayama Prefecture.
In this short clip you get a full 360° view of the area and surrounding mountains as seen from the rear of the Kumano Hongu Heritage Center. In the distance you can see Oyunohara Otorii - the largest torii shrine gate in the world at 34 metres tall and 43 metres wide.
The modern Kumano Hongu Heritage Center is located in front of the Kumano Hongu Taisha (Grand Shrine), the geographical and spiritual center of the sacred Kii Mountain Range.
This facility is the focal point for information and educational exchange in the UNESCO World Heritage property Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range.

Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage Trail Day 2: Takahara to Chikatsuyu, Japan
We asked a worker at Hotel Kiri-no-Sato in Takahara if he would be willing to drive us a short distance to the trail, knocking several hours off from today's journey. It wasn't the walking distance but a steep decline on the trail that would play havoc on my bony knees.
Chikatsuyu is a small village located halfway between Takijiri and the Hong Grand Shrine. And you can't ask for nicer people or better food than at Ryokan Tsukinoya.
