The Kumano Kodo pilgrimage is an immersive journey for the active inquisitive traveler.
日本靈性之源之旅
古老的熊野地區坐落在和歌山縣青翠的群山之中，這裡是日本的精神中心。幾個世紀以來，這個鬱鬱蔥蔥、崎嶇不平的地區一直被認為是眾神的居所。
漫步於熊野古道的參拜之路、泡在與世隔絕的溫泉中療癒身心、品嚐美味的當地菜餚、與友好的當地人交流……在這片聖地上，有什麼樣的冒險在等著你？
Kumano Kodo
熊野古道
1,000 多年來，包括退位天皇和貴族在內的社會各界人士，都不畏艱苦的前來熊野參拜。參拜路線網絡便由這些參拜者一步一腳印走出來，現在被稱為「熊野古道」。它橫跨了多山的紀伊半島，遊客常到的小路和古老的鵝卵石路交錯穿梭於偏遠的村莊和森林中。
