大峰奥駆道全縦走①〜100kmの旅のはじまり〜

The Omine Okugake Trail Traverse Series Episode 1: "The Beginning of a 100km Journey" This time, I challenged myself to traverse the entire Omine Okugake Trail. Forward Route (Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine to Yoshino/Yanagi-no-Watari) Total Distance: 100km Cumulative Elevation Gain: 8,000m It's a long journey. This ancient trail, also registered as a World Heritage Site, is a path of prayer that refines people's hearts. This was a long-awaited route. A few years ago, I hiked the reverse route solo, but this time I was able to complete it with four dear friends. To complete this long and arduous route, you need not only the physical strength to carry heavy loads, but also the ability to decide where to resupply, and how much you can carry and how far you can walk. This requires strategic thinking. Feeling the presence of the gods close by, you'll deeply appreciate the importance of water, food, nature, and your companions. Along the way, you'll encounter numerous sacred sites, including Fudo Myoo, Zao Gongen, and En no Gyoja, which are all highlights. You'll be greeted by Buddhas with both stern and gentle expressions. Even we, who usually climb rocks in alpine climbing, performed a spiritual practice this time, offering prayers. There are plenty of breathtaking views, so please be sure to watch!
