Kumano Kodo: A 3-Day Journey | 4K Japan Travel Vlog

A 3-day journey along the Kumano Kodo, visiting the sacred Kumano Sanzan. Starting from Kii-Tanabe, we walk part of the Nakahechi route and spend the night at Yunomine Onsen. On day two, we visit Kumano Hongu Taisha and Kumano Hayatama Taisha, then continue along the Koyazaka trail before heading to Nachikatsuura, where we enjoy local tuna. On the final day, we make our way to Nachisan. For centuries, Kumano has been known as a land of rebirth. Walking these ancient pilgrimage routes, surrounded by deep nature, offers a quiet moment to reflect and reconnect. This video is a calm and reflective travel record, capturing the emotional beauty of Kumano’s landscapes. --- ⏱️Video Timeline 00:00 Introduction 01:26 From Osaka Station to Kii Tanabe Station 02:32 Bus from Kii-Tanabe Station to Nakahechi 03:55 Kumano Kodo – Nakahechi (from Gyuba Doji to Chikatsuyu, then to Nonaka Ipposugi) 07:07 Lunch at "Kotori no Ki" 08:45 Yunomine Onsen / Tsuboyu 10:07 Stay at "Yunomineso" 12:58 Day 2 14:06 Kumano Hongu Taisha 17:19 Kumano Hayatama Taisha 18:56 Kamikura Shrine 20:16 Lunch at "Mehariya Shingu Honten" 21:31 Kumano Kodo – Koyazaka (from Ojigahama, via Koyazaka, to Miwasaki Station) 23:13 Nachikatsuura 24:18 Dinner at Maguro Ryori Masudaya 26:33 Day 3 27:19 Kumano Kodo – Daimonzaka 29:17 Kumano Nachi Taisha 31:42 Seiganto-ji Temple 32:55 Nachi Falls 34:21 Tea at Sabou Chinchouan Nachisan Ten 🌎Locations 📍Restaurant "Kotori no Ki" https://maps.app.goo.gl/o9E6ZyBv2Rg8u... 📍Yunomine Onsen / Tsuboyu https://maps.app.goo.gl/qnQ3jBncRHYNL... 📍Yunomineso https://maps.app.goo.gl/pLrHHHM4Xeh6L... 📍Kumano Hongu Taisha https://maps.app.goo.gl/Ni9V637Lq1CHF... 📍Kumano Hayatama Taisha https://maps.app.goo.gl/F8ivCS1UAFB6L... 📍Kamikura Shrine https://maps.app.goo.gl/CYy37rG5tAhny... 📍Mehariya Shingu Honten https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZFynpnVh4DFHj... 📍Koyazaka https://maps.app.goo.gl/at1CBBpmQQ9Y2... 📍Maguro Ryori Masudaya https://maps.app.goo.gl/uKYrqJFBwtcWz... 📍Hotel Sunrise Katsuura https://maps.app.goo.gl/VkCsLxufdi5E8... 📍Daimonzaka https://maps.app.goo.gl/71q5g4cgXBAeX... 📍Kumano Nachi Taisha https://maps.app.goo.gl/PnBSKR6W2LsVk... 📍Seiganto-ji Temple https://maps.app.goo.gl/fsMLeGGuXfsGp... 📍Nachi Falls https://maps.app.goo.gl/CYeW1WoEXuLnf... 📍Sabou Chinchouan Nachisan Ten https://maps.app.goo.gl/rgHBMHaq6UBpg... ----------------------------------------- 📷Follow My Instagram   / planetjourneyjp
