Japan's ONLY World UNESCO River right by the Kumano Kodo | Japan Travel Guide | GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP

Описание: When visiting Shingu City, one must look into the ancient transportation of one of the most revered sites in the Wakayama Area

The Kumano River is a dominate landmark in the Kumano region running from North to South down the center of the Kii Peninsula. It served as a vital transportation link for the communities in the mountains and pilgrims past. Traditionally pilgrims travelled by boat from Kumano Hongu Taisha to Kumano Hayatama Taisha at the mouth of the river.

This sacred waterway is also considered an object of worship. Because of its spiritual aspects and use as part of the Nakahechi section of the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route, it was included as UNESCO World Heritage in the property "Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountains Range".
