Kumano Kodo II

Kumano Kodo, from Hashinmon Oji to Kumano Hongu,
7km, 2h

Starting at 3 pm (due to some car problem), which is late and the over-careful tourism office recommend that we take a torch light, we walked through a very beautiful countryside dotted with hamlet and occasional tea plantation.  We greeted some villagers and passed a couple of self-service stands which sell plum pickles and local tea.

We survived even without a torch light.

Trailhead, Hashinmon Oji

Mountain path..

A nice rest spot saying “Have a rest here”
