[Wakayama] Kumano Kodo 🌄 Nakahechi - The magnificent mountain path of Okumotori Pass

#0YenTravel2025Autumn 📍 Dynamic Mountain Trail Okumotorigoe Pass is considered one of the most rugged stretches of the Kumano Kodo, with large elevation changes and continuous ups and downs. It's a challenging hike, truly worthy of its nickname, "The Path of Training." As you make your way through the dense forest, you'll be captivated by the magnificent scenery that unfolds at every turn. 📍 Spectacular Mountain Views There are several observation points along the way, offering panoramic views of the Kumano River below and the layered mountain ranges of the Kii Mountains. On sunny days, the lush green mountains sparkle, while on rainy or foggy days, the scenery takes on a mystical quality. Both views capture the natural beauty characteristic of the Kumano Kodo. 📍 A Trail to Experience Kumano's History Okumotorigoe Pass has been walked by many pilgrims since ancient times. The rugged path evokes the deep faith of the people of that time. Moss-covered cobblestones and signposts remain, exuding the dignified atmosphere of a pilgrimage route steeped in history. 📍 Summary Okumotori Pass is a particularly challenging route along the Kumano Kodo, offering a unique experience of both nature and history. While physically demanding, the rewards—both spectacular views and a sense of accomplishment—are exceptional. This is truly a path where you can experience the grandeur of Kumano. 📌 Access Okumotori Pass is part of the section of the Kumano Kodo Nakahechi trail connecting Hongu Taisha Shrine and Nachi Taisha Shrine. The trailhead is accessible by bus from JR Shingu Station or Kii-Katsuura Station.
