Kumano Kodo Iseji Route

Walking the ancient Iseji pilgrimage route connects you to over a thousand years of spiritual journeying along Japan's sacred Kumano Kodo trails. This eastern path winds through coastal towns, over mountain passes with ocean views, and past weathered stone markers that have guided pilgrims since the Heian period. The route links the revered Ise Grand Shrine to the three grand shrines of Kumano, offering a close look at Japan's syncretic religious heritage amid unspoiled scenery.
