Discover the Secrets of Kumano Kodo: Ancestral Paths, Renewing Spirit
Welcome to a magical corner of Japan, where ancient paths tell silent stories and the mountains whisper legends of pilgrims who have left their mark over the centuries. In the heart of Wakayama Prefecture, the Kumano Kodo awaits, offering a unique experience for those seeking a fusion of the spiritual and the natural.
We will be able to enjoy the Nachi Fire Festival, one of Japan's most impressive celebrations, where gigantic flaming torches descend from the Nachi shrine, symbolizing the purification and energy of the sacred waterfall. This visual spectacle, full of mysticism and tradition, contrasts beautifully with the majesty of the Gion Matsuri in Kyoto, one of the oldest and most famous festivals in the country. During the Gion Matsuri, the city streets are filled with enormous decorated floats and vibrant parades that pay homage to the protective spirits, offering a unique cultural experience where the ancient and the festive come together in an unforgettable celebration.
Ki Hospitality: On your journey, you'll experience authentic Japanese hospitality, known as "Ki." From traditional accommodations to encounters with friendly locals, the Kumano Kodo immerses you in the warmth of the local culture. Discover the true essence of Japan as you share moments with those who have made this land their home.
Embark on an unforgettable adventure through Japan with us, where the ancient and the modern merge to offer you a unique experience. We will take you to discover the mythical Kumano Kodo, an ancient network of pilgrimage trails on the Kii Peninsula, known for its natural beauty and profound spiritual significance. This trail, declared a World Heritage Site , is twinned with the famous Camino de Santiago , connecting two pilgrimage traditions on a route that will take you through lush forests, ancient shrines, and landscapes that will make you feel at one with history and nature.
Let us guide you through authentic Japan, where every step is a journey back in time, and every dish, a delight for the senses.
