Wakayama Hidden Gems

Hogar de los senderos sagrados de Kumano Kodo y del monte Koya, Patrimonio de la Humanidad. Rutas de peregrinación milenarias, el centro del budismo shingon, la cascada de Nachi (la más alta de Japón en caída única) y las playas de Shirahama ofrecen un viaje de renovación espiritual y natural.

8 spots

La espiritual península de Kii: una ciudad monástica en lo alto de la montaña, senderos de peregrinación entre bosques de cedros y aguas termales en una cálida costa pacífica.

Clima y mejor temporada
