I spent five days on a pilgrimage on the Kumano Kodo, an ancient pilgrimage route in the Wakayama Province in Japan. It was such an amazing journey.

I took the Nakahechi Route from Tanabe over Hongu to Nachi. It was the most popular with ancient pilgrims. The great thing about this route is that there are so many relics from the ancient times. You can really get a feeling how it was to do this pilgrimage a few hundred years ago!
I have made different edits of my experience. This edits’ focus lies on following the chronological order of the journey.
