Kumano is a historic and spiritually significant area located in the Kii Peninsula of Japan, encompassing parts of Wakayama, Mie, and Nara Prefectures. The region is renowned for the Kumano Kodō, a network of ancient pilgrimage routes that connect three major Shinto shrines known as the Kumano Sanzan: Kumano Hongū Taisha, Kumano Hayatama Taisha, and Kumano Nachi Taisha.

These sacred trails and shrines, designated as UNESCO World Heritage sites, have been spiritual destinations for over 1,000 years. The area is characterized by its dense forests, mountainous terrain, and traditional architecture, reflecting the deep connection between Japanese culture and nature. The region continues to preserve its cultural heritage while serving as both a religious center and a destination for those interested in Japanese history and spirituality.
