About Kumano Kodō
The Kumano Kodō is a series of ancient pilgrimage routes that crisscross the Kii Peninsula, the largest peninsula of Japan. These mountainous trails are used by pilgrims to the "Kumano Sanzan" - the Three Grand Shrines of Kumano: Kumano Hongū Taisha, Kumano Nachi Taisha and Kumano Hayatama Taisha. These three shrines are the holiest sites of the ancient syncretic Kumano religion. It has been visited by pilgrims seeking healing and salvation as a site of religious significance for over a thousand years.
